I ask because I have encountered a scenario where pxeboot.bs is tftp'ing boot files from a PXE server and fails in random spots while attempting to download boot files to start a 8.2-RELEASE install. When we run the same sequence of tftp gets in a running 8.2-RELEASE instance continuously, we never received a single failure in a solid hour of attempts. -- Take care Rick Miller
