OK, I cc'd this to the list in case someone has a more authoritative

OK, first check in /etc/xinet.d/
You should see a file named tftp
If not, you may have installed the tftp client, not the server. Find
the Mdk8 rpms, and install the server:
tftp-server-0.17-4mdk.i586.rpm
The tftp server (daemon) installs that tftp file in xinet.d.
Look inside the tftp file and make sure it says
disable = no
It probably also says
server_args = -s /tftpboot
This warns you that tftpd will begin chrooted, so all calls to tftpd
will need to leave out the /tftpboot/ part of the path. Check your
/etc/dhcpd.conf file to make sure this is so.
Next, make sure that xinetd is running. You can do that by typing
/etc/rc.d/init.d/xinetd status
and it should tell you it is running.
Hopefully by this time it will be working OK.
If you get a kernel loading on your diskless workstation, tftpd must
have been configured properly, if I understand it correctly.
