Etherboot seems to be somewhat over-generous in the network delays it will tolerate; it will wait up to several minutes for replies from e.g. TFTP servers. This is probably not desirable, since it appears to the user that Etherboot has simply frozen. There are various RFCs (rfc2131 and rfc1112) that are mentioned in the Etherboot source as relating to timeout intervals, and the PXE specification also has something to say about it. If anyone feels like digging through the specs and coming up with some reasonable adjustments to our timeout algorithms, it would be very helpful.
