Mr. McQuillan:
OK, so I swapped out the tftp for atftp and started monkeying with the
boot-parameter on the Option-129 line. I'm not sure what that line
should read for a 3c509. I tried both eeprom and 3c509. Neither has
worked, yet. Based on what I feed it, I either get "parameters not
allowed after first declaration" errors in syslog, or an error on the
client workstation saying I need to feed the Option-129 line the correct
boot parameters.
Any ideas?

With debian, you have several choices for tftp daemons. I think atftpd
is the one you want.
You might try: dpkg -l | grep tftp
and see which tftpd daemon you currently have installed.
If it's not atftpd, you can at least see the correct name for
the package by typing: apt-cache search tftpd.
Once you find the full package name for atftpd, you can install
it and give it a shot. It might require modifying startup parameters
for tftpd.
I'm still kind of a Debian newbie, so you might have to figure
some of that out on your own, or with help from someone else.
