Install tftp onto the Linux host computer

For CentOS I used yum

yum install tftp

yum install tftp-server

then I looked in the file

/etc/xinitd.d/tftp

default: off
description: The tftp server serves files using the trivial file transfer \
protocol. The tftp protocol is often used to boot diskless \
workstations, download configuration files to network-aware printers, \
and to start the installation process for some operating systems.

service tftp

{

       socket_type             = dgram
       protocol                = udp
       wait                    = yes
       user                    = root
       server                  = /usr/sbin/in.tftpd
       server_args             = -s /tftpboot
       disable                 = yes
       per_source              = 11
       cps                     = 100 2
       flags                   = IPv4

}

to see how tftp was configured by default. The file tell me that the tftp files should be located in the subdirectory

/tftpboot

turn the server on

/sbin/chkconfig tftp on

-I then used the serial port on the host computer to interface with the MVME6100 via the "DEBUG" port.  The debug port took an RJ45 standard cable so I got and RJ45-DB9 converter.  This seemed to work out of the box.  Just in case I ever need to make my own connector record the pinouts below.
