are you sure, that the error message means the memory for you laptop.
How many ram is available in this beast? :)

While playing with tftp and network boot, I'll got this error message on
many machines (i386, 3com or intel nic). The machines have 32MB and up
to 512 MB ram, so a small 1.44MB floppy should be small enough to fit
into the memory.

Which tftp server you're using? Maybe you should use tftp-hpa, it
support more options which are required from "modern" network cards
(modern means intel's view of good network card firmeware :)).

And maybe you should also try to boot with a simple floppy over the
network: http://www.rom-o-matic.net/

Good luck :)

btw. I'm currently testing d-i with network boot on my laptop and in
vmware.
