I wouldn't do that. "-s /tftpboot/" tells the tftp daemon to change its
root directory to /tftpboot/ before serving files. This is for
security; if someone were to find a way to break into the tftp daemon,
they would only be able to get at the files in /tftpboot.
If you do make this change, be sure to add /tftpboot to your "filename"
entries in /etc/dhcpd.conf, since these pathnames must be relative to
the tftp daemon's root.
Try running ethereal (or tethereal if you prefer textmode) during the
boot process. Another thing to check is your name server; problems
there cause weird slowdowns.
