I have not changed the defaults at all, nonetheless I'm guessing it's 
not chrooted chrooted. From the third host:

And in heretic's logs:

>/tftpboot/install

Yet when bootptab asks for /tftpboot/install:

The logs say

Should work! Worked for septilum. But console says:

-tftp load
?IO 3/tftp a.out (-2)

Ideas???? So close... Thanks,
