Upstream etherboot accepted a patch (attached) to fix wrapping of the
TFTP block index. Without the patch we are unable to boot recent
Solaris over the network in HVM guests (because our miniroot now
exceeds 64k blocks).

Whilst unstable has moved on to gpxe (which doesn't suffer from this
problem), it would be useful to us for this to be fixed in the stable
series.

Any preferences on the best approach? I can submit changes which
include an updated ROM image, the patch and scaffolding to apply
it. Or something else.
