Is the tftp-server package installed? Check with "rpm -qa | grep tftp".

I've successfully booted several Sun machines from the network using RARP 
and TFTP, so I know that works. I also know that the "dhcp" package is able 
to serve both bootp and dhcp, so I would imagine you can do what you want 
with the "dhcp" and "tftp-server" packages. Have not tried it myself, though.
