If the tftp service mentions tcpd then you are running tcpwrappers. Check the identity of the hosts for the two fetches. It's not clear from what you sent, but you seem to be saying that there are two fetches via tftpd, the first one for the boot image (which is done by the bootrom) and a second one, which fails. What is the IP address of the client for the second message? Maybe it's one that's forbidden access. Check the security logs.
