It turns out the bit about TFTP being administered by
inetd is, at least in Breezy's case, a blatant lie. ;o)

I edited the /etc/default/tftpd-hpa, switched RUN_DAEMON to
"yes", did a /etc/init.d/tftpd-hpa start and booted successfully.

Thanks again for pointing me in the right direction!

Cheers,
