This does *NOT* look like a valid path.  TFTP servers typically serve 
out of a dedicated directory (often /tftpboot) and the paths to the 
files are usually relative to the root folder.

You probably want to copy your uImage to /tftpboot/uImage and use the 
file name either uImage or /uImage or /tftboot/uImage.

Do a "tftp get" from a computer, preferably not your tftp server 
computer, to figure out your TFTP server path and file names before 
trying to TFTP from u-boot.

If you run stuck, use wireshark on your server to see what is going on 
on the wire.

Wrong path/file.
