Got it all set up.
RARPD, BOOTPARAMS, TFTP services are all running.

Client gives error 'Timeout - waiting for ARP/RARP packet'

Did snoop on network interface on server:-
BROADCAST -> (broadcast) RARP C Who is 8:0:20:9f:6e:be ?

So I reckon it looks like RARPD is not replying. BTW - there is deffo
an entry in /etc/ethers and /etc/hosts.

Any ideas on how to troubleshoot?

Shut down network/rarp, and start rarpd by hand from a terminal with
the debugging switch: /usr/sbin/in.rarpd -d -a
