Maybe your pen isn't /dev/sda1 but /dev/sda?
This inconsistency across drives is a real pain. In linux in general my pendrive is always /dev/sda4. I guess this implies an odd partition table. I'm still unsure how to reliably predict the partition number on any pendrive except by trial and error.
Have a look at usbguid2sd at http://greenfly.org/scripts.html
And the accompanying text at http://greenfly.org/tips/usb_drive.html
It doesn't do exactly what you need, but helps figure out where in your infrastructure to hook into and hack those extra bits tying things to floppyd.
Trying Ubuntu linux recently, it `just worked' for the first time popping up right away on the desktop.
That was probably using a 2.6 kernel, right? There's been clever moves regarding recognizing and mounting devices lately - related to pmount, hotplug and hinting of what drives are removable in recent kernels.
(haven't checked, but it may actually be "just working" now on my lessdisks setup, but I doubt same approach will be possible with LTSP).
Yes, it's been noted that you doubt that things work with LTSP. It's not very productive or helpful for the users of the installed base of LTSP clients to keep making this point.
