Get FreeBSD working either with iPXE or with FreeBSD assets. The existing solution was using memdisk to load a raw hard disk image and broke Legacy when the cert used for mfsbsd no longer worked with https.

We'd probably want this working with UEFI if possible too so we'd want to move away from the memdisk solution.

You wanna keep this open trying to function with UEFI?

We can always revisit later, at least base functionality is working again but over the next few years I think Intel plans on dropping legacy support, so we should always try and favor UEFI when possible. Thanks for knocking this out!
