As I understand the documentation, enabling TFTP disables NFS, they are exclusive. When building the loader make sure that your source tree is clean and /usr/obj is empty, or it won't work. I recall this puzzled me a long time until I found the trick. I don't think it is enough to do make clean. Second, I did # cd /usr/src/sys/boot # make -DLOADER_TFTP_SUPPORT=YES ok, as said, it's a while ago I played with this, they may have introduced support for the usual way of stating options.
