Yep, it's in there:
7.6. My machine doesn't download the kernel when I try to netboot
Your machine is replying to the BOOTP packets (you may verify this
using a packet sniffer like tcpdump or ethereal), but doesn't download
the kernel from your BOOTP server. This happens if your boot server is
running a kernel of the 2.3 series or higher. The problem may be
circumvented by doing a "echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_no_pmtu_disc"
as root on your boot server.
