Well, I took the disk controller out, now it gets to this thing that
goes like this

boot device: <unknown>
root device: qe0	<-- I type qe0
dump device: 		<-- I type nothing, pressed enter
file system (default generic): 	<- type nothing, pressed enter

then, I get:

nfs_boot: trying RARP (and RPC/bootparam)
nfs_boot: client_addr=0xa104801
nfs_boot: timeout...
nfs_boot: timeout...
nfs_boot: timeout...
nfs_boot: bootparam whoami, error=60
no file system for qe0
cannot mount root, err = 79
root device (default qe0):

Well, there it is.  I can get that far.  I think the problem is a RARP
or bootparam problem on the FreeBSD box.
