Does a tcpdump on the server show anything?  If you're getting nothing
at all, I'd suspect the network.  The 3100 has both a BNC and a AUI
connector, and these are selected by a little switch between the two
connectors - you could try pressing that switch and see if it makes a
difference (I think a green LED turns off in one position).

FWIW, I just use

	boot -f tftp()

on my 3100, and I've got

	bf=netbsd/basil

in the bootptab (basil is the hostname).  The full path to that file is
/tftpboot/netbsd/basil and tftp runs with the following command line:

	tftpd -r /tftpboot
