The problem turned out to be with the link pxelinux.cfg.

It was pointing to "/tftpboot/debian-installer/i386/pxelinux.cfg.serial-9600"
instead of "debian-installer/i386/pxelinux.cfg.serial-9600"

Of course, when the tftp client is chrooted to /tftpboot that link
doesn't make sense anymore.

Thanks for your help.

Regards,

Liam
