Troubleshooting
If the file isn't in the proper place, the TFTP server won't be able to find it, and you'll receive an error from the nodes trying to boot up -
PXE-T01: File Not Found PXE-E3B: TFTP Error - File Not Found PXE-M0F: Exiting Intel Boot Agent
Then doublecheck that pxelinux.0 is in the location specified by the file /etc/default/tftpd-hpa.
