It would be the TFTP server not doing so, but it should then get back 
the ICMP NEED FRAGMENT and allow the packet to be fragmented.  This is 
UDP, not TCP, so it cannot force smaller IP datagrams to be sent.

The big problem is that the PXE stack will generally do the wrong thing 
with the fragmented incoming packet.  Most PXE stacks are buggier than 
hell, and it doesn't take much tweaking.
