I don't see the problem here. tftpd-hpa is recommended for good reasons
and AFAIK does work correctly in a lot of situations. That does not mean
it works correctly in all situations, or in your particular situation.
In general it is almost impossible to describe how to set up server
daemons in a way that will work for everybody. Some reading of manual
pages and tuning of configuration is to be expected.
Based on the information you have provided so far I see no reason to
change the installation guide.
