Lachlan, The older versions of Etherboot, don't handle the kernel commandline options the same way (if at all).
You either need to upgrade that chip, or you could follow the clever method that Jason Pattie documented a couple of weeks ago on this mailing list. He used the older etherboot to boot a newer version of etherboot which would then boot the Linux kernel, passing the proper options along to the kernel. You'd have to search back about 2 weeks in the ltsp-discuss list archives. And, when you do get Etherboot to pass the kernel cmdline args, you will also need to specify option-128 in the dhcpd.conf file. Take a look at http://www.LTSP.org/instructions-3.0.html for more info. Jim.
