My first thought was: Which TFTP servers are used?
( What is the name, version and platform of TFTP server where the 45MB limit is encounter? )
( What is the name, version and plafform of TFTP server that is known to server 90 MB files? )

On second thought: Use TFTP to download iPXE, continue over HTTP.
