I don't run inetd. I run xinetd, which is what brings up my dhcpd and other 
daemons at startup.

I tried to make tftpd start automatically with "chkconfig tftpd" but this gave 
an error message. "chkconfig tftp" didn't give an error message but it 
doesn't get started by xinetd even though the output from "chkconfig tftp" 
claims that xinetd starts it:

# chkconfig tftp
tftp  xinetd

Here is my /etc/xinetd.d/tftp

service tftp

        socket_type             = dgram
        protocol                = udp
        wait                    = yes
        user                    = root
        server                  = /usr/sbin/in.tftpd
        server_args             = -s /srv/tftpboot -r blksize
        disable                 = no
}
