   Subject line says it all -- anyone have any experience running bootp
   under FreeBSD? Thanks for any info.           

If by this you mean "does FreeBSD support booting diskless", then the
answer is yes (with certain WD 8013 cards, at least).  Work on this is
ongoing, but I'll let the author himself comment further if he choses to
do so.
