Hmm, it definatly worked for me with 5.0-RC1 and 4.7.  I believe what I
ran tftpd with the options "-s /cdrom" and exported /cdrom with "-ro
-alldirs".  In the dhcp configuration, filename was "boot/pxeboot" and
root-path was "/cdrom".  next-server and server-identifier both pointed
to the DHCP/tftp/NFS server.
