I have only used tftp via xinetd. I'd try that.

What you described works manually.
Basically, the service is not started on reboot even though I've
enabled it. So I don't know what 'enabling' a service means.
Since tftp-server installs /etc/xinetd.d/tftp, is it hinting that it
should be started via xinetd? Do I need to install xinetd or is
systemd so do-it-all, know-it-all that it's taken over xinetd's
functions?
I've tried the obvious steps. I'm working my way through all the
permutations (however illogical) to see what works. Obviously,
enabling a systemd service does not necessarily start the service on
reboot. When does enabling a service not enable it?
I wanted to test an application I wrote and I've spent 3 hours trying
to configure the system so it will let me.
Systemd is really too much.

If you're asking what I think you're asking:
systemctl enable tftp # This adds a symlink for tftp into the
(target? Milestone? One of those), equivalent to saying "/etc/rc2.d
is done, now let's go to rc3.d".
systemctl start tftp # This tries to start it
systemctl status tftp # This gives you success, or debug information
if it didn't work.
If I missed your question entirely, then can you word it differently?

I need help with how to enable tftp service. I am trying to get
something done
and I have no patience for systemd's convoluted logic.
The tftp-server installs
(1) /etc/xinetd.d/tftp
(2) tftp.socket (what's this?)
(3) tftp.service
Manually, I can start the service and everything works. But
enabling the service
stays disabled or indirect. Enabling the socket does not start
the service on
reboot. Do I need xinetd or does systemd deprecate xinetd?
Geez! I miss the old days when Unix was simple.
