Did you enable tftpd? Also, did you make sure tftpd is set up to
serve files from /tftpboot? I have:
tftp dgram udp wait root /usr/sbin/in.tftpd /tftpboot
in my /etc/inetd.conf.

What does 'show ewa0*' say at this point? If BOOTP succeeded, then
you should see your IP configuration in the console environment
variables.
I suspect it may be a problem with TFTP...

You may also want to try ISC dhcpd, I find it works a lot better than
the old bootpd. Just add "allow bootp;" to your subnet block in
dhcpd.conf.
