/etc/inetd.conf

#:BOOT: Tftp service is provided primarily for booting.  Most sites
# run this only on machines acting as "boot servers."
tftp           dgram   udp     wait    root  /usr/sbin/in.tftpd 
/usr/sbin/in.tftpd -s /var/lib/tftpboot

Got it.

Looks like there is a bug in /etc/init.d/tftpd-hpa

test "$RUN_DAEMON" = "yes" || echo "tftpd-hpa disabled" && exit 0

So either echo and exit, or just exit.  Never get to the start/stop options.
