I am running running with the "-s" flag.  However, I've tried without it, and
it gives me this error on the console:

Jun 28 02:31:37 larry tftpd[2823]: tftpd: write: Host is down

I've (temporarily, I hope) resolved the problem by using a Solaris 2.5 machine
as a boot server, which runs tftpd with the "-s" flag.
