Hmmm.  I did a little more digging.

I found, in "man dhcpd.conf", the following:
BOOTP Support
  Each BOOTP client must be explicitly declared in the dhcpd.conf file.
  A very basic client  declaration  will  specify  the  client  network
  interface's  hardware  address  and  the IP address to assign to that
  client.   If the client needs to be able to load a boot file from the
  server,  that  file's name must be specified.   A simple bootp client
  declaration might look like this:

       host haagen {
         hardware ethernet 08:00:2b:4c:59:23;
         fixed-address 239.252.197.9;
         filename "/tftpboot/haagen.boot";
       }

Could you instead of doing what I thought previously, replace
>> group {
>>  host 192.168.254.254 { hardware ethernet 00:14:7F:F8:83:DD; }

with something like the following...
host myrouter {
  hardware ethernet 00:14:7F:F8:83:DD;
  fixed-address 192.168.254.254;
  filename "/var/lib/tftpboot/ZZQIAA8.225.bli";
}
