If you use the live CD you might have problems,
since not all device nodes are there.
E.g. only for slice 1 (but for more than one hd).

If you pxe install, you can just create the devices on the NFSROOT host.

If your partititions to boot are beyond cylinder 1023
the boot0cfg call will need "-o packet" as option.
