Narrative:

Cleared by rochester ground to taxi to runway 4, cross runway 28 at taxiway B. Taxied down taxiway B. Before reaching taxiway east to make right turn, controller called us. He said 'that taxiway is not stressed for that kind of airplane.' we were still on taxiway B. He said make right at taxiway east and make best time. I later realized that there is a small note that says taxiway east is not stressed for a B737. I did not see the note, as we were very tired and the note looks like it is pointing at another taxiway. Made left at taxiway a and took off.
