OK.

Are you sure the tftpboot directory was empty?  ttylinux.bz2 is not a tar 
file, just a compressed file - all it should have left behind it the file 
"ttylinux".  I don't know where the other directories came from :-)

The file: directive needs to point to the disk file itself, not to a 
directory.  Could you please try:
disk=['file:/tftpboot/ttylinux,sda1,w']

Let us know how you get on!

Cheers,
Mark
