That directory structure looks like a pain in the butt
to me. I have mine a lot simpler here is how mine
looks

# ls -Rl /tftpboot/
/tftpboot/:
total 1500
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root root 1474560 Aug 12 13:51
floppy.img
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root root   19852 Aug 12 13:51 memdisk
-rw-r--r--  1 root root   12968 Aug 12 13:49
pxelinux.0
drwxr-xr-x  2 root root    4096 Aug 12 13:51
pxelinux.cfg

/tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg:
total 8
-rw-r--r--  1 root root 89 Aug 12 13:51 default

# cat /tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/default
default floppy
prompt 1
timeout 40

label floppy
kernel memdisk
append initrd=floppy.img


# cat /etc/dhcpd.conf
