 I just noticed that this bug is still not fixed, I don't see why this
 couldn't get committed...
 
 Also, I recognized that TFTP support is probably not getting us anywhere,
 because it still wants to mount the root or the distribution media from
 an NFS mount later, after the kernel had booted. Or maybe I just
 misunderstood what TFTP support is about.
 
 But apart from that there is another issue to that bug: if the NFS mount
 succeeds when it does that RPC call it fails to transfer the kernel
 through that since it seems the NFS calls are incomplete, if TFTP is
 enabled. Consequence of that is that you need to disable the NFS export
 (if root-path matches).
 
 If you need more details in something I have experimented a bit around
 with both features...NFS and TFTP compiled pxeloader.
