I've booted my first pxe FreeBSD 10.0 image, and discovered that dhclient, of all things, doesn't seem to work. Running dhclient from the command-line after boot results in the following output:
WARNING dhclient failed to start
chroot
exiting
Some searching turns up a thread on the FreeBSD forums. A missing /var/empty directory is to blame. It should be owned by root, with permissions of 755.

That's exactly the issue that I was facing with an old system. In my case, I didn't have /var/empty and creating it as root got dhclient to work again.
