You need to define the directory that you want to allow tftp traffic in.
On suns it is by default /tftpboot. That seems to be resonable.
You start it by uncommenting the line in /etc/inetd.conf and appending
/tftpboot to that line. Then kill -HUP `ps -ax |grep inetd |grep -v grep`
No you don't need an account for tftp, that's why its call "trival ftp".

You need to add a line in /etc/inetd.conf like:
bootps dgram udp wait root /usr/libexec/tcpd bootpd
and kill -HUP inetd again.
You'll also need to setup the /etc/bootptab file. You can find format of
that in the manpage for bootpd.
If you are not using tcpd (you probably should) substitute bootpd for tcpd in
the above line.

Let's say your domain is startup.com and you have a class C network: 192.220.6
And that you have 2 name servers 192.220.6.1 and 192.220.6.2
As a client create the /etc/resolv.conf file:
domain startup.com
nameserver 192.220.6.1
nameserver 192.220.6.2
As a server. Create /etc/named.boot:
directory /var/spool/named
primary startup.com p.startup.com
primary 6.220.192.in-addr.arpa p.192.220.6
primary 0.0.127.in-addr.arpa p.localhost
cache . p.root.cache
Then you need to create you p.start.com p.192.220.6 and p.localhost in
/var/spool/named
You can get the lastest p.root.cache of the net, or from your ISP.
Here's what a p.localhost should look like:
;$ORIGIN 127.IN-ADDR.ARPA.

In this, it is assumed that you have a machine named (or CNAMEd) dns and
another called dns2.
Most importantly, before you do this. Go out and give Cricket Liu some
money and buy _DNS and Bind_ from O'Reilly. He's a really great guy, and
its a book you don't want to due without when running DNS. There's also
_TCP/IP Network Administration_ by Craig Hunt from O'Reilly.
