The tftpd that comes with slackware won't do what you want. You could
make links from / to the right files in /tftpboot but that will make
your system VERY insecure, as anyone would be able to get any file on
your system.
I have patched tftpd to use chroot("/tftpboot") to ensure that files
are only accessible under the tftpboot tree and that you can use the
sun method of referring to files.
Have a look at ftp://arvidsjaur.anu.edu.au/pub/linux-sparc/tftpd.tgz
for patched source and a ELF/i386 binary. Its in the linux-sparc
directory as I was using it to remote boot a linux/sparc box from a
linux/intel box.
