Looks like this "ICMP Destination unreachable" indicates that there is
no tftp server running. As you can see the C360 gets an IP Address and
then sends a TFTP Read Request but the server doesn't respond.

Did you start inetd?
Did you enable tftp in /etc/inetd.conf?
You should get a line like
udp        0      0  *.tftp                 *.* 
when running "netstat -a | grep tftp"
Is tftp working? I.e. is /tftpboot and /tftpboot/lif36.fs world
readable?
Any messages from inetd or tftp in /var/log/messages / /var/log/daemon?
