Solutions:

I tried two different ways on two SPARCServer 1000,
and both of them seems work fine now.

Solution 1 come from:
Beat From heggli@htl-bw.ch
Michael Zika From zika@soa.com
---------------------------------------------------
I replaced the Solaris_2.4 /usr/sbin/in.tftpd
with the in.tftpd from Solaris_2.3
----------------------------------------------------

solution 2 come from:
Leif From leif@infoseek.com
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
I think it's possible to fix the 2.4 tftp daemon, it has something to do
with a missing /dev/udp device (due to the chroot() in tftp). This was
posted in Sun Managers some time ago, but I haven't tried it:

(mkdir /tftpboot/dev ; mknod /tftpboot/dev/udp c 11 41;
chmod a+rx /tftpboot/dev; chmod 666 /tftpboot/dev)
-----------------------------------------------------------

Also thansk for all people who responsed.
David Lee... and more are coming.
