Server address with dhcp+tftp+pxe on Etch

Hello,

I'm trying to set up a new FAI server for Etch, using FAI 2.10.2 on an 
Etch workstation, and the config files of my current Sarge server. And 
for some reason the PXE boot does not work any more, I can't figure out 
what I have done wrong.

DHCP seems to work fine, but after that the client uses address 0.0.0.0 
for tftp, which of cours does not work.
PXE says the following on the console:
...
My IP address seems to be the C0A80140 192.168.1.64
ip=192.168.1.64:0.0.0.0:192.168.1.1:255.255.255.0
...

Client address is fine, but server address should be 192.168.1.6.

tcpdump says the following:

NIS & DNS works fine for both hostname, of course. Does anyone here know 
where this problem can come from?
