  | Attempts to start tftpd with the command line '/var/libexec/tftpd -l' are 
  | unsuccessful. /var/log/daemon says:

The only sensible way to start tftpd is from inetd - it needs to have
a udp socket connected to stdin/stdout/...

What you probably want to do is uncomment the tftpd entry from inetd.conf
(and send a SIGHUP to inetd).
