oops! forgot to add:

i pulled out the hard-disk that successfully boots like i want it to,
and plugged it into another pc, to view it using a systemrescue cd, or a
knoppix cd.

noted it had two partitions: hdb1, and hdb-1 or something to that
effect, which was strange. this second one was unformatted and free. the
first was a usual ext3. it contained some full-installation of redhat8,
which of course is never really used to boot, as no lilo, no grub, shows
up at startup, neither does a local linux installation start booting.
the hardisk just boots the bootROM image from hardisk after POST, and
then pulls in the LTSP kernel over the net....

confirmed there is no fat partition either on this working hd. so all
that stuff about creating a command.com, a dos-bootable etc., does not
really work here.
