So you've confirmed that all your symlinks are ok, then?  Did you actually 
remove the old busybox from the system, or is this in addition to it?

(Ok, so your shell came up.  Was busybox providing that shell?)  Nice to have 
some idea if at least baseline functionality is working with the new thing, 
and that your toolchain is ok and so on.

Is BusyBox providing your tftp client?

Is busybox providing your modprobe?  (Was busybox providing your old 
modprobe?)
