Roger,
The issue here that was being questioned was the portmaster initiating
a tftp request with a "subdirectory" specified in eprom version "G", that
did not exist in other eprom versions. The problem being addressed
really had nothing to do with how the server was configured, but rather
different implementions within the pm2's. From a support perspective, one
cannot control the configuration's of all user's tftpd's.
