Bug Description
When booting older terminals using Etherboot 5.4.x boot floppies, the image appears to load with all of the dots streaming across the screen and 'done' is displayed at the end.
Immediately thereafter 'Issuing RESET:' appears on the screen and booting stops.
Running Fresh install of Ubuntu 9.10

note that we switched to mkelfimage instead of mknbi. mkelfimage was added because it can handle coreboot based thin clients (mainly it was added on request of arctech for the thincan clients) but it is knoen that mkelfimage does not work for some older etherboot versions. if you install mknbi in the chroot, run a chrooted update-initramfs and then ltsp-update-kernels on the server the resulting nbi image should be usable with older etherboot clients.
