Is it possible to PXEboot a diskless client with an MTU higher than 1500 =
(Ie: 9k) ?

The network we currently boot several diskless machines from has a lot =
of NFS traffic and we'd like to enable them all for larger MTU's however =
the one thing stopping us is the issue with initial boot seemingly only =
supporting an MTU of 1500. =20

I know we can set the MTU later (post boot) on the diskless machines, =
but it doesn't seem we can run a higher MTU on the TFTP server as we'd =
have TFTP UDP traffic with mis-matched frame sizes at that point.=20
