Great! Now we're getting somewhere.

What output are you getting in /var/log/messages (or /usr/adm/messages)?

Check that you have the "tftp" line in /etc/inetd.conf listing all the 
directories you need to have access to:

   tftp    dgram   udp     wait.1024  root  /usr/sbin/tcpd \
     in.tftpd /usr/local/netOS_i/ /tftpboot/workstation /tftpboot

>Loading /usr/tftpboot/kernel.s.1... 

Might you perhaps have "/tftpboot" instead of "/usr/tftpboot" in 
/etc/inetd.conf ?  Most tftpd's now by default won't serve files from 
directories not listed on the command line.

You might also want to insert

#define DEBUG

in the beginning of eepro100.c to see what is actually happening with the 
packets.

Let us know how it goes.

Regards,

Marty
