You're getting there too late. The boot_wait tftp server is only listening for
a few seconds after bootup of the WRT.
I've found that starting the tftp program sending and then plugging in the WRT
works well. You'll need a tftp client that will retry continuously, and the
atftp recommended on the openwrt.org site works well.
