You must have had fun doing this one! 8 mb is cruelly small. Does the device 
retry tftpboot? I'm thinking when an (slightly less) average user has kernel 
hosted on another openwrt device tftp, power comes on, main device boots, then 
the 302 eventually retries and can get its kernel via tftp.

I guess this kind of thinking will be more relevant going forward, when today's 
devices can no longer fit a 'standard' 1GB kernel, and 'standard' flash space 
is like 1TB :D
