I wonder if there might be a firmware bug. Here's what I see on the
wire:

It looks like the entire initrd was successfully transferred. The
client ACK'd the last block but then, for some reason, it comes back
about half a second later and re-ACKs a block it had already ACK'd.
And that block being number number 65535 is *interesting*.

Perhaps - but these systems are in the same physical location, slowest
link between is 1Gbps.
