Thank you again for your guidance and corrections.

The client now successfully boots.

I have tried to put only the needed steps and have commented on what 
they do. In the interest of writing up proper documentation please 
correct any of the following:

DebianWheezy32-ltsp-pnp-with-nbd.txt

Wheezy 32 bit using LTSP 5.4.2-6+deb7u1 and ltsp-pnp

1 install Debian Wheezy with dnsmasq, ltsp-server-standalone, 
ltsp-client and lxde

2 ltsp-config dnsmasq

this reports Created /etc/dnsmasq.d/ltsp-server-dnsmasq.conf
[ ok ] Restarting DNS forwarder and DHCP server: dnsmasq

3 edit /etc/dnsmasq.d/ltsp-server-dnsmasq.conf to comment out dhcp 
range line leaving dhcp proxy since server has just one nic

4 service dnsmasq restart

5 edit /etc/ltsp/update-kernels.conf to have BOOT_METHODS=NBD and add 
the line IPAPPEND=3 at the end

6 /usr/share/ltsp/update-kernels

step 6 saves the changes made in step 5

7 dpkg-reconfigure linux-image-3.2.0-4-486

this reports update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-3.2.0-4-486 
adding the changes of step 5

The next step creates a 4.0 filesystem on /opt/ltsp/images/i386.img

8 ltsp-update-image --cleanup /

this reports

Updating /var/lib/tftpboot directories for chroot: i386

(i.e. putting pxelinux.0 and pxelinux.cfg and the latest kernel into
/var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386/)

and triggers ltsp-config nbd-server reporting

Created /etc/nbd-server/conf.d/swap.conf
Created /etc/nbd-server/conf.d/ltsp_i386.conf
  nbd-server.

(it also creates /etc/nbd-client but did not report it)
(as well as putting the latest squashfs image for nbd into 
/opt/ltsp/images)

There is the message "FATAL: Module overlayfs not found" but this is a 
non-issue as we have aufs instead of overlayfs

as no client is yet started the next step is needed to read all the 
files /etc/nbd-client and /etc/nbd-server*

9 service nbd-server restart
