[ILUG] tftp problems pxebooting a Soekris

Hi All,
I'm having a problem trying to pxeboot a Soekris Net4801 and have been
unable to find a solution.
I've got DCHP set up correctly in that the Soekris picks up its IP address
and the filename "soekpxe.0".
It then looks for a config file by trying a number of filenames including
the file "/pxelinux.cfg/default" which does exist (well, relative to the
root-path directory "/tftpboot").
At this point, everything just comes to a halt.
I've attached the Soekris output, the relevant dhcpd.conf extract and an
Ethereal export.
I've googled and have found similar problems but haven't found a solution.
Assuming the problem lies with the tftp server (or configuration thereof) I've
tried the RedHat tftpd and also tftp-hpa with no change in the result.
In the Ethereal dump below, I imagine the line
"53 20.567837 192.168.32.70 192.168.32.40 TFTP Read Request,
File: /pxelinux.cfg/default, Transfer type: octet"
is the significant line. That file *does* exist (relative to the root-path)
but the tftp server is reporting that it doesn't exist. Huh?
Any suggestions and/or URLs most welcome.
Regards,
Liam
