Here is a copy of /etc/xinetd.d/tftp

# default: off
# description: The tftp server serves files using the trivial file 
transfer \
#    protocol.  The tftp protocol is often used to boot diskless \
#    workstations, download configuration files to network-aware printers, \
#    and to start the installation process for some operating systems.
service tftp
{
   disable    = no
   socket_type        = dgram
   protocol        = udp
   wait            = yes
   user            = root
   server            = /usr/sbin/in.tftpd
   server_args        = -s /tftpboot -v -v
   per_source        = 11
   cps            = 100 2
   flags            = IPv4
}

Originally the server_args was =-s /tftpboot but we added the -v -v to 
try and get more information out of the logs as to what is happening.

The was some typo's in the original message I sent, here is the correct 
information that is displayed on the desktop systems screen when it 
tries to boot from the network.

If there is additional information that I could give that might help in 
narrowing down the problem please just let me know.
