[Etherboot-discuss] etherboot file an exact multiple of 1432 bytes fails

[John L. <ja...@ho...>]

Turned up on OpenBSD 4.1, the OpenBSD file "pxeboot" (Version 4.1) is 51552 
bytes, = 35*1432, and fails.  Fix it by adding a couple of bytes onto the 
end.

On OpenBSD 4.0, the "pxeboot" file is 49724 bytes, = 34*1432 + 1016, and 
works.

Console message on failure is

Unable to load file.

Poking around the code, I suspect the tftp_block routine, which checks len < 
blocksize.  Maybe that should be len <= blocksize?  A crude guess, any way.
