Oh, I see .. the utfwadm script of SRSS 3 looks for the existence of either 
/etc/inetd.conf or /etc/xinetd.d/tftp. This are the places where it tries to
enable the tftp service. If both files are missing, it stops 
with this error message. 

Perhaps you can check where the inetd/xinetd config files are on your 
platform and repair the script? Or comment out all the attempts to
fiddle with the inetd configuration and activate tftp via yast.

The utfwadm script does roughly the following:
 - change the DHCP configuration: The DHCP server announces
   which machine acts as firmware server and which firmware version is
   provided by the machine. So after running utfwadm, dhcpd.conf should include 
   some lines similar to this:
       
       option NewT.FWSrvr 192.168.96.1;
       option NewT.NewTVer "4.0_48_2007.08.01.15.48";

 - enable tftp service via inetd/xinetd

 - copy the firmware files from /opt/SUNWut/lib/firmware into the /tftpboot 
directory

 - add a symbolic link containig the version number for every firmware file

 - add a .parms file for every firmware file        

In the end /tftpboot should look like this:
# ls -l /tftpboot/
total 2612
