Didn't you break feature introduced in rev 1.21 of pxe.c ???
===
Allow kernels loaded by pxeboot, which was compiled with LOADER_TFTP_SUPPORT, to stll be able to mount NFS root as prescribed
by DCHP configuration. Since pxeboot is using TFTP to get to the
files, pxeboot can not rely on NFS to provide it a root directory
hande as a side effect. pxeboot has to  make RPC mount call itself.

Paul did break it indeed.
I agree it's annoying to wait for RPC calls running PXE loader build with TFTP-only support. But I believe this feature was requested by someone just if it was committed. I think there should be more accurate fix, i.e. #define LOADER_TFTP_ONLY or something like this.

With best regards,
