John,
In dhcpd.conf, on the option-129 line, you can
add 'INITRD_DBG=1' and it will stop before it does the modprobe.
Then, you will get a shell, and you can poke around. You
don't have much in the way of tools, but you can use
"echo *" to display a list of files in the current directory.
Jim.
Also, stop in #ltsp at irc.openprojects.net, and I can
help in realtime
