-Using trivial ftp to load a kernel is one of the best features of Grub. Here is how it is done.
+The Debian grub packages do not have networking enabled, so you have to apt-get the source, modify the debian/rules file to include --enable-network-card and dpkg-buildpackage to get a .deb of grub that supports TFTP.
