Hi Chuck,
I have a Netvista 8363, AKA 2200, working flawlessly (finally!! thank
you LTSP list people). It took a long time to get it perfect, since I
would get discouraged and give up, then weeks later try again :-).
With this setup, there is no compact flash card in the Netvista and it
boots into LTSP completely from the network from a Slackware 10.0
server. One strange thing I noticed with the 8363 is that the kernel
doesn't need to be in /tftpboot/lts (where the other LTSP kernels are
kept), but is placed in /opt/ltsp/i386/
Below are as many of the configuration files that I can remember that
you will need to modify. Be sure to change IP's and the MAC around to
suit your setup.

The wonderful Kernel.
Get it from http://christurner.net/8363/vmlinux-2.4.19-LTSP-IBMNC
As far as the BIOS goes, the version you have should support this. Mine
is July of 2001 if I remember correctly.
