Yes, that's correct: the tftp-Server is not running stand-alone, but it
will be executed by inetd whenever neede (so you have to verify that the
inetd-server ist really running).
Of course - if you prefer - you can also use the standalon tftp-Server
and uncomment the line in inetd.conf - it shouldn't make any difference

The easiest would be to use a network sniffer like wireshark in order to
verify which file the client is trying to download exactly. However, in
your configuration of the tftp-Server, the file
"/var/lib/tftpboot/pxelinux.0" on the server will be accessed by
"pxelinux.0" - without the directory. So just try
filename "pxelinux.0";
instead of
filename "/var/lib/tftpboot/pxelinux.0";
maybe that will work...
HTH,
Axel
