This should work out of the box with etherboot, but you
must make sure that you have a version of tftpd that supports
this feature. There is a patched copy of tftpd in etherboot's
contrib directory that knows how to handle large blocks.

Try the one in etherboot's contrib directory and if it doesn't
work, then feel free to post a patch to the list ;-)

I haven't checked the code, but I suspect this must be blocks.
Counting kB is a lot more difficult. Stalling at 32766 suggests
that your tftpd does have the "signed field error".
