On Wheezy, you'd edit /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/update-kernels.conf, change:

  BOOT_METHODS="NBD"

and then run (presuming you're using sudo):

  sudo ltsp-chroot /usr/share/ltsp/update-kernels
  sudo ltsp-update-kernels
  sudo ltsp-update-image
  sudo ltsp-config nbd-server

You may need ltsp-server 5.4.2-4, recently uploaded to Debian Sid/Unstable, as
a number of bugs were recently fixed.

I think on Debian Squeeze running ltsp-update-image automatically 
half-converts you over to NBD, but i don't quite recall off the top of my head
what's left over. Probably creating /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/update-kernels.conf and
changing BOOTPROMPT_OPTS to use NBD.

I've also started on the process of backporting the newer LTSP to squeeze, and 
should be available on backports.debian.org.
