Re: possible bug in pxeboot with TFTP support

I compiled pxeboot with TFTP support by doing:
cd /usr/src/sys/boot
make -DLOADER_TFTP_SUPPORT

I have clients booting via PXE and grabbing their root filesystem from a
memory disk. However, there was a long delay in the boot sequence.
tcpdump revealed that after downloading pxeboot, the client was sending
RPC traffic, presumably looking for NFS. This caused the boot to stall
for 30 seconds or so until the loader spit out "NFS MOUNT RPC error: 60"
and then continued booting via tftp.
