groovy-live-server-arm64.iso 20201020.1
When attempting to netboot subiquity on a Cavium ThunderX CRB2S, the system always times out downloading the initrd - see below. It seems the initrd, which is LZ4 compressed to 87M, is just too large. If I recompress the initrd using lzma - shrinking it to 44M, I am able to boot it. While that successfully works around the issue, I wouldn't expect the average user to know to do it.
GNU GRUB version 2.04

Press enter to boot the selected OS, `e' to edit the commands
before booting or `c' for a command-line.
error: timeout reading `initrd'.
Press any key to continue... |
[Impact]
GRUB times out when downloading downloading large files w/ tftp. This notably breaks subiquity based PXE installations on several arm64 platforms (but presumably not limited to arm64).
[Test Case]
This can be reproduced on a Cavium ThunderX CRB system using subiquity from the groovy arm64 ISO. Failure looks like:

[Where problems could occur]
The fix is to the tftp command, so problems would like appear in the tftp stack, possibly due to inconsistencies between tftp server implementations. |

[Impact]
GRUB times out when downloading downloading large files w/ tftp. This notably breaks subiquity based PXE installs which feature a large initrd. (Observed on several arm64 platforms, though the symptom is not arch-specific).
[Test Case]
Simple test case using an x86 UEFI VM:
Place a kernel/ramdisk on a tftp server. Inflate the initrd or kernel to 87M, e.g.:
dd if=/dev/zero of=initrd.img bs=1M count=87
dd if=initrd.img.orig of=initrd.img conv=notrunc
Success looks like:
Shell> fs0:
FS0:\> \efi\grubnetx64.efi
grub> net_dhcp efinet0
grub> linux (tftp,192.168.122.1)/vmlinuz.orig console=ttyS0,115200n8
grub> initrd (tftp,192.168.122.1)/initrd.img

Failure looks like:
