Rob- One of the more noticeable changes with 169 onward is the migration of the root TFTP directory from /tftpboot to /etc/netboot. That's the place to look for validation of your bootfiles, configurations, etc.
Note if you're also running Jumpstart on the same server, there is some manual work that's required to relocate the files in /tftpboot over to /etc/netboot, then replace /tftpboot w/ a symlink to /etc/netboot. If there were non-AI files in /tftpboot, the installadm-convert.py utility should have informed you of this step. A second change related to what you're seeing is that we no longer have bootfiles named as "I86PC*", but rather we have default services and client-specific bootfiles named by their Client ID (which is "01" + client mac address). The conversion utility should have created an /etc/netboot/<client id> bootfile for each client-specific bootfile in /tftpboot. And, any new client bindings that you add from 169 onward via create-client will create a Client ID bootfile in /etc/netboot. Let me know if that gets you going on the right track. If not, we can continue here, or we can get on the phone quickly if that suits.
