Replace FreeBSD TFTP with tftp-hpa to allow WinPE boot

[johnnyq]

Hey we are now using Freenas for our PXE Boot Server but have run into an issue with booting Windows PE the current TFTP Server on Freenas doesnt support boot images above 32MB and it does not allow translating / forward slashes into \ backslashes for windows PE booting. I would love to see this replaced and should be an easy replacement!

Is there a way to overcome the 32MB limit on tftp? I would like to retire solar-winds tftp server!!

No, the TFTP FreeBSD is limited to that 32MB limit, I did Extensive research on it, the best way is to replace with hpa-tftp and its pretty easy to do Freebsd has a package for it, I just hope they can make it happen for the 8.01 release

In FreeNAS 0.7 this works for me: TFTP
