He's seeing the double packets while it is under Etherboot control.

He sent me the packet trace, and I looked at it with ethereal,
and for every tftp packet that he receives, he is sending back
2 acks.

It does get the entire kernel, but then at the end, it dies with
several ARP requests that seem to go un answered.
