Its normal for a highfat nbd image to be gigs+ I think your issue is really to do with it not finding the correct ips to implement for nfs, pulse, and cups. Can u take a look at the logs and see waht could be timing out the nbd setup. Also.. take out quiet and splash from /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/fati386/pxelinux.cfg/default to get more verbose output.
