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.

Next idea or suggestion?
