There's no other message after this. Even after sitting there for 10 
minutes. No TFTP timeout message.

Okay, I see. I changed it back.

The line is indeed uncommented:

$ grep tftpd /etc/inetd.conf
tftp           dgram   udp     wait    root  /usr/sbin/in.tftpd
/usr/sbin/in.tftpd -s /var/lib/tftpboot

inetd is running.

$ ps ax | grep inet
5361 ?      Ss      0:00       /usr/sbin/inetd


Incidentally, this same client can boot from a SkoleLinux server. So the 
problem is likely at the server end.

Thanks for the help.

Cheers,
Daniel.
