You could try booting a PXELINUX client off your TFTP server.  That's 
one is pretty obvious, but rather clumsy if you don't have such a 
machine on hand; I actually don't have any other tests on hand

It would also be very interesting to know what modifications I would 
need to add to tftp-hpa to make it compile on OpenBSD, so please send me 
your changes.
