I've used NCD's in a previous life, and configured them. Fun stuff.
The hard part is getting to the point you wanted above. The kernel is
usually loaded directly from the /tftpboot, and so is the config file.
At least, I think that's right.

Once the config file is loaded, that will influence the behavior of the
NCD, and tell it how to get further information. That might include NFS
mounting in order to get files, or it might simply continue to retrieve
files via TFTP. In my old setup, we always used TFTP for everything,
since it's easy.

In my experience, files are always retrieved relative to the /tftpboot
directory. That means that a retrieval of the file
/usr/lib/X11/ncd/rgb.txt
will be retrieved as
/tftpboot/usr/lib/X11/ncd/rgb.txt
You should make a symlink from there to the proper file, or something
like that. :)
