You are right, it is not a GRUB problem; it's a folder structure error
in the way I approached the problem.

No, the dhcp-tftp chain is correct. Because /data/amd64 is a jail
(like a chroot) and the chroot is where dhcp and tftpd are running, I
thought maybe the correct sytax should be "grub-mknetdir
--net-directory=/ --subdir=boot/grub", then copy the files to
boot/grub under the chroot folder. No difference, however and client
drops to "grub rescue". /var/log/xferlog shows:
in.tftpd[41762]: RRQ from 192.168.2.34 filename i386-pc/core.0
in.tftpd[41762]: tftp: client does not accept options
in.tftpd[41763]: RRQ from 192.168.2.34 filename i386-pc/core.0
in.tftpd[41764]: RRQ from 192.168.2.34 filename /boot/grub/i386-pc/normal.mod
in.tftpd[41764]: sending NAK (1, File not found) to 192.168.2.34

grub rescue> set
cmdpath=(tftp,192.168.2.1)i386-pc
prefix=(tftp,192.168.2.1)/boot/grub
root=tftp,192.168.2.1
net_pxe_boot_file=i386-pc/core.0

I changed the dhcp-tftpd configuration from prefix /boot/grub/i386-pc,
to test whether the problem lay in tftpd's inability to rad giles from
folders one level up (cd ..). Same result.
