I had lots of "fun" doing this the other day. In the end I found that
for some reason using tftpd-hpa didn't work so used atftpd instead. I
also found that triple checking the config in inetd.conf (and correcting
the incorrect bits) and then restarting inetd made a *huge* difference 
(all quite obvious really) as inetd only picks up on configuration
changes after a -HUP. 

Oh, and for some reason the Debian boot images I was trying to use gave 
me wonderful psychedelic graphical corruption on my mini-itx box so I 
ended up using the Ubuntu pxe install bits instead, which worked first 
time but it sounds like you aren't getting this far.
