I've never had any problems PXE booting FreeBSD using out tftpd,
but I did have trouble with Linux once - the loader insisted that
the transfer size option. Since I MFCed that a while ago, and haven't
had any trouble since (though it would be nice if we supported the
blocksize option). Any idea what the nature of the problems are?
