Saw it. My tftp client and pxe+tftp under linux works ok. The tftp client under FreeBSD seems to work fine (1,5GB tranfered, md5sum checked, no pb). BUT, maybe the tftp client in the FreeBSD pxeboot has a problem.
I am actually trying to make the mfsroot go through NFS. If that works, it will indicate the FreeBSD pxeboot has indeed this problem with TFTP.
