A "better" thing to do would be for tftp_open to check the dv_type of
the struct devsw member of struct open_file to see if it is a network
device. However, stand.h has a comment stating that the dv_type
member of struct devsw is an "opaque type constant, arch-dependant".
Since tftp.c is in the arch-neutral libstand(3), I figured it would
be bad for tftp.c to gain knowledge of the "opaque" db_type field.
Regardless, the check I added should be there as it was an uncovered
error condition.

Apparently I am a glutton for punishment. Expect more bugfix patches
in the near future.
