Using you advice, under the /etc/xinetd.d folder, I added two files, one named tftp and the second named nbd. Within each I placed the text you sent. I reviewed the other files (within xinetd.d folder) and made the new tftp and nbd file appear in similar content.
Both files present and run /etc/init.d/xinetd restart made no difference. (Still BusyBox prompt at terminals.) Remove nbd file and run /etc/init.d/xinetd, still BusyBox prompt. Re-insert nbd file and remove tftp file and run /etc/init.d/xinetd and still BusyBox prompt. First, I apologize for not knowing exactly what I am doing and maybe I am completely misunderstand your intent. But this did not work. I also tried commenting out the tftp line that exists within the /etc/inetd.conf file to see if Ubuntu was trying to start tftp twice. No difference.
