I think there are three places where this comes up: pre-kernel booting,
post-kernel initrd, and maintenance. It sounds like you've got the first step.
Here are notes I made for myself after getting this up on Xubuntu 6.10:

   1.  Etherboot: downloaded an etherboot image from http://rom-o-matic.net/
with the alternate ports, set the alternate ports on the server in
/etc/ltsp/dhcpd.conf (local-port and remote-port) and opened firewall holes.
   2. Kernel bootup: after etherboot gets the kernel with tftp, and it begins
to boot it will ask dhcp for an address and location for the nfs root. This is
controlled in the /scripts/nfs file in the client's initrd.
          * on the server, chroot /opt/ltsp/i386
          * edit /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/nfs and change the line
ipconfig ${DEVICE} to ipconfig -p 1068 ${DEVICE}
          * create a new initrd with update-initramfs -c -k
{kernel-version-number eg. 2.6.7-10-386}. You might want to save a copy of the
original first.
          * make a new nbi image combining the kernel and initrd with
mkelf-linux --output=/boot/nbi.img-2.6.17-10-386 vmlinuz-2.6.17-10-386
initrd.img-2.6.17-10-386 (using the appropriate kernel version numbers)
          * exit the chroot
          * copy the new initrd and nbi.img from /opt/ltsp/i386/boot into
/var/lib/tftpboot/i386 so tftp will serve it out.
   3. After booting, the dhcp client will maintain the network ip (TODO: I
haven't figured out if this is necessary yet since the DHCP servers are in
sync other than the nfs stuff).

Don't know this one.
