Have you actually setup a tftp server?

AFAIK, everything that needs to be there should be there in the kernel,
although I don't see anything specifically noted on that page.  If you
know what the option to enable is, I could tell in a matter of moments
whether or not it is enabled (and if not, could enable it).  But reading
that page doesn't tell me what said option is.  =(

But nice tutorial... I might actually have to get off my butt and give
it a try.
