What I want to do is have a minimal functionality netbootable image that is sufficient to set up network interfaces and then do:
ftp> get pfsense.img "| dd of=/dev/ad0"
and completely blow away what's on the flash and replace it with something new[...]
There is pxe in the bios on the ALIX... perhaps you know of something that's already pxebootable that will do this?
FreeBSD (or alike) will happily boot from PXE, either with NFS root or with an in-kernel RAM disk image. Booting a kernel directly (instead of via loader(8)) is not officially supported anymore, but the last time I tried (around 6.2) it was still working.
