Thanks Ken, Thanks Markus,

I saw your points in your repplies, but after "make
all" and "make install" of the ".../contrib/tftp", my
diskless station goes to <sleep> without loading
anything. The "tcpdump" on the server shows something
like:
 icmp: host:domain udp port tftp unreachable [tos
0xc0]
I am attaching as txt all the "tcpdump" dialog.

I want to mention that the both the "tftp" in
"services" and "tftpd" in "inetd.conf" are enabled. In
fact, before changing "tftp" the NFS-root worked
perfectly. Does this "tftp" need any special service
to be activated? I downloaded the RFC1700 and looked
at the 192 service (from that tos 0xc0 thing):
osu-nms   192/udp  OSU Network Monitoring System
For me, it doesn't seem to relate to "tftp". This is
where my ideas ended and I decided to bother the lists
again.

Thanks for all,
