if your initramfs isnt retrievd thats clearly a problem with your dhcp
setup, either your filename directive in the dhcpd.conf is wrong (which
is not teh case if the dhcpd.conf was the one from /etc/ltsp), your
inetd isnt runnning to start tftpd on requests or (the most common
error) you have another dhcp server running in your network that answers
faster and simply doesnt have a filename directive set.
note that setting up i386 clients on amd64 was never really a hands-off
install (not as much manual work as powerpc, but still, you have to
adjust some stuff (patches happily accepted indeed ;) ... )), even
though i suspect you might have found a bug in the setup scripts here if
there is no other dhcpd on a router or so ...
if thats not the case, does your inetd.conf have an uncommented entry
for tftp and does it point to /var/lib/tftpboot as it should ?
