I just spent several evenings finding out that FreeBSD's bootparamd
isn't 64-bit clean. Turns out, I'm not the only one; in April, 2007,
Tyler Spivey filed PR 112163 about this. He also included a simple
patch, to clear up most of the problems (replacing long with ip_addr_t
in several key places).
Yes, I've encounted the same problem on amd64 as well while trying to
netboot a Netra from a FreeBSD/amd64 server. I recall the problem of
using long's.
I'm booting a SparcStation IPC from an amd64 RELENG_7_0 server. Same
deal (though I suspect you have the luxury of a working NVRAM battery).
What's the likelihood that his patch could be applied before 7.0 is
fully released? The patch I'm talking about is his second shot,
attached to his problem report here:

I'll see what I can do. Thanks for the pointer.
That'd be wonderful, thanks.
