Yup, snippets of config for you are (watch out for word wrap) :

/usr/sbin/in.tftpd points to atftpd, from inetd.conf: 

#:BOOT: Tftp service is provided primarily for booting.  Most sites
# run this only on machines acting as "boot servers."
tftp            dgram   udp     wait    nobody /usr/sbin/tcpd
/usr/sbin/in.tftpd --tftpd-timeout 300 --retry-timeout 5
--mcast-port 1758 --mcast-addr 239.239.239.0-255 --mcast-ttl 1
--maxthread 100 --verbose=5  /tftpboot

and my complete dhcpd.conf, the line host itx is for the mini-itx
machine that i was trying to boot:

option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
default-lease-time 600;
max-lease-time 7200;

subnet 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
range 192.168.1.51 192.168.1.59;
option broadcast-address 192.168.1.255;
option routers 192.168.1.1;
option domain-name "thebowery";
option domain-name-servers 192.168.1.1;
filename "/tftpboot/pxelinux.0";
server-name "192.168.1.1";
 }

host itx {
         hardware ethernet 00:40:63:C0:BA:E7;
         fixed-address dhcp5.thebowery;
			              }


If that fails to work for you take a good look at the logs, they are
what helped me work out all the initial problems I had.
