It should contain a minimal set of commands that are needed to run a
system ( the jail). Also a kernel and an initrd (does BSD have such things?) that
can be loaded via PXE and tftp is needed. FAI needs a netboot
environment so that the kernel and initrd mounts its root file system
via NFS. Maybe this helps:

That's all for the beginning.
