I haven't used tftp since doing some net booting.

The pxelinux.doc in the syslinux (pxe boot) package says:
Quote:
++++ SETTING UP THE TFTP SERVER ++++

PXELINUX currently requires that the boot server has a TFTP server
which supports the "tsize" TFTP option (RFC 1784/RFC 2349). The
"tftp-hpa" TFTP server, which support options, is available at:

http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/network/tftp/
ftp://www.kernel.org/pub/software/network/tftp/

... and on any kernel.org mirror (see http://www.kernel.org/mirrors/).

Another TFTP server which supports this is atftp by Jean-Pierre
Lefebvre:

ftp://ftp.mamalinux.com/pub/atftp/

If your boot server is running Windows (and you can't fix that), try
tftpd32 by Philippe Jounin (you need version 2.11 or later; previous
versions had a bug which made it incompatible with PXELINUX):

http://tftpd32.jounin.net/
This matches the tftpd's in debian
tftp-hpa worked for me. Both look recently maintained (easy to compile from source) if they aren't in your distro.

Have fun,
chris
