This should "Just Work", and I've had it work about half a year ago on
6.2. Which version are you compiling on?
The tutorial I have handy[1] says to compile with:
make -DLOADER_TFTP_SUPPORT=YES
I'm not sure if it makes a difference. Anyhow, the boot loader source
looks like it can't cope with both TFTP and NFS at the same time, so
there might be a bug in there after all.
