It gets as far as retrieving rmgr via tftp (I see it get requested in the logs), but the machine reboots itself as it is loading the rmgr image. It prints out the "[Multiboot-elf blah blah" stuff and does a reboot before anything related to x86-kernel is printed to the screen. This happens very quickly.
If I move the first two files to the boot floppy I am using, things boot fine. This config works:
A well know bug: Older releases of GRUB (including our own grub version on os.inf.tu-dresden.de) have problems when seeking back a file which comes from tftp.
Bugfix: Upgrade to the latest GRUB release in CVS.
Workaround: Strip your kernel image (rmgr): strip rmgr. When stripping your image, GRUB doesn't have to seek back the image because there are no other sections than code and data.
