LTSP falling back to initramfs (Wolfgang Bogenrieder), additional

[Wolfgang Bogenrieder]

Hi,

blame on me, with <ALT><CTRL> F1 I got debug output, debugging isn't 
further the problem.

I got the output

---------------------------------------------------

rootserver: 192.168.0.254 rootpath: /opt/ltsp/i386
filename: /ltsp/i386/nbi.img
Error: Connect: Connection refused
mount /rofs on /root/rofs failed
.. (further mount errors, then)
Target filesystem doesn't have /sbin/init
---------------------------------------------------

Isn't nbi.img characteristic for etherboot, instead of PXE ? But, 
loading of prelinux.0 long time passed, even linux kernel loaded ! So 
what's going on ?

Thanks for help, Felix
