It's actually not the ROM size limitation but the 48kB footprint
limitation of 5.0. However the size of the current image isn't near the
limit so he must have been doing things like adding large global
buffers.

To "deng zhiguo", I think you're barking up the wrong tree anyway, if
the transfer finished but the image didn't execute, Etherboot worked and
it's more likely you didn't prepare your kernel and initrd properly.
Without more details we can't say. You don't even say what kind of
initrd it is. Is it even Linux, or are you trying to boot DOS?
