I have that exact setup on one of my laptops. I partioned it so that I had one 2mb DOS partion, and the rest was a linux install. I installed a small linux distro on one side (Deli Linux) then instead of writing the wireless_ltsp image to a floppy, I wrote it to the 1st partion . Then setup Smart Boot Manager to boot either Wireless_LTSP (hda1) or Linux (hda2).
I used Smart Boot Manager only because I use the machine to test various distros, so the hda2 gets rewritten all the time, but I did not want to have to mess with lilo or gurb all the time since I still use the machine as a thin client a lot of the time.
