I can't see how this will be on FreeBSD-5.4 or -stable.

If you're interested on this, open a thread on current.

This is about making pxeboot compiled with LOADER_TFTP_SUPPORT defined
works as documented.

Also, point that your workplan makes a second bootp transaction needed.

Try make the bootp/dhcp packet parser independent of bootp.c (At last,
exportable), so we can parse the 'bootplayer' binary packet pxe
allready have.

ALso, I'm not sure we can redefine CLASSID without breaking PXE (not
dhcp) compatibility.

Remember that the PXE bios has allready do the bootp/dhcp transaction
for us, and the correct path is only parse the 'bootplayer' (really a
bootp/dhcp packet in binary form) than we get from the bios.
