After installation of 'tftpd-hpa', the configuration line in '/etc/inetd.conf' looks like:
  tftp dgram udp wait root /usr/sbin/in.tftpd /usr/sbin/in.tftpd -s /var/lib/tftpboot

This causes the folloing error in '/var/log/syslog'
  received address was not AF_INET, please check your inetd config

Changing the configuration line in '/etc/inetd.conf' to read:
  tftp dgram udp4 wait root /usr/sbin/in.tftpd /usr/sbin/in.tftpd -s /var/lib/tftpboot
causes this error to go away, but it is then replaced with..
tftp: server says: File not found

This is correct, as file geing asked for does not exist yet.

When the file is put in the '/var/lib/tftpboot' directory, with 'chmod 666' privs, the following error is reported..
  tftpd: read(ack): Connection refused
(I should probably file this as a separate bug.)

NOTE: If testing, care need to be taken that all the 'in.tftpd' processes are killed off before restarting inetd.
