This touches files like dhcpd.conf from all distros, so please stop me from committing it if NBI images still work for you.
As for a workaround,
* I think some etherboot clients support booting from pxelinux.0 (I had this in mind in the planned commit),
* While for older etherboot clients that don't support pxelinux.0, someone that has such a client should create an ipxe.nbi wrapper, post it to our wiki and document how to change dhcpd.conf to boot from that.
I'll wait for a few days for feedback; if there's none, I'll go ahead and push.
I propose that we completely remove support for NBI images from ltsp-trunk.
Copy from my mail to the ltsp-developer list:
AFAIK, NBI (Etherboot) support has been broken for years: /bugs.launchpad .net/ltsp/ +bug/487826

I want to remove all of the NBI code from ltsp-trunk, so I'm proposing this commit: bazaar. launchpad. net/~alkisg/ +junk/ltsp/ revision/ 2500
