There's a cap on the maximum size of things various bootloaders can
load via tftp; 2MB is relatively certain to blow it. ISTR the limit
being something near 1MB for 2 of my boxen.
Since this is totally machine/architecture specific (we're tftp'ing 10MB
kernel/ramdisk images to embedded PPC machines here) it might be a good
idea to ask around and find what the most restrictive requirements are.
Is 1MB the worst-case or does it get even tighter?
