To troubleshoot the failed client bootups that terminate in a Busybox 
shell, I added "debug" to the default kernel command line in 
/etc/ltsp/update-kernels.conf, then ran:
   sudo /usr/share/ltsp/update-kernels
   sudo ltsp-update-image -c /

This results in creation on the client of a debug log at 
/run/initramfs/initramfs.debug.

But contrary to one source I read somewhere, this initramfs does not 
include vi, so I'm trying to save the log to a USB flash drive so I can 
read this big file elsewhere.

In https://wiki.debian.org/InitramfsDebug, in a section on saving debug 
information, it says "use a USB stick: plug it in, observe the kernel 
output, mkdir /mnt, mount the device node there, and write to the flash 
drive. Remember to umount before pulling out the stick."

But the kernel output in initramfs does not name a device node such as 
sdb like it would do in an Ubuntu session.  And no /dev/sd* files exist.

Does anyone know how to get this job done one way or another?
