I have never been able to get dhcpd's BOOTP services to work correctly. With the X-terms at an old job, and with my Alpha kernel (loaded via bootp), I had to use CMU's bootpd in order to get things working properly. In particular I seem to recall dhcpd's BOOTP support missing a tag or two.
With respect to timeouts, though, there is one thing to watch for: your bootp requests may be succeeding, but the tftp step following the BOOTP reply may be failing. Some
