I've been taking the time to finally setup pxeboot for a few new projects.  
Oddly, or maybe not, I'm wanting to run dhcpd and tftpd on /net.alt instead of 
/net.  Doing so highlights a subtle point that I've clearly missed in the whole 
namespace documentation and network configuration.

ip/dhcpd -x /net.alt works perfectly well but ip/tftpd -x /net.alt will fail 
unless you've got a custom /lib/namespace  or /cfg/$sysname/namespace that 
includes something similar to the following:

# alt networks
bind -b '#l1' /net.alt
bind -b '#I1' /net.alt
mount -a /srv/cs_net.alt /net.alt
mount -a /srv/dns_net.alt /net.alt


There may a better way, but so far that's the only thing I've found to make 
tftpd work off of /net.alt.
