What is happening is that the -s /var/lib/tftpboot bit in
/etc/inetd.d/tftp is telling in.tftpd (or tftpd depending on your
system) to "chroot" to /var/lib/tftpboot.
Anything you want tftpd to see will need to be under that directory.
Alternatively you could change the bits after the -s to point where you
want them.
My tendency is to prefer to leave the stuff in /etc/ alone as it's owned
by RPMs and upgrades can undo work if you're not careful.
My choice would be to create the directory paths under
/var/lib/tftpboot. Your life, your choice :)
Regards,
Petro.
