I found it much much easier to make universal boot floppys. Here is what
Les Mikesell wrote back the first of Feb of this year.

Did you find the 'universal' boot floppy images?  I've had good luck
with the one from the thinstation project:
http://thinstation.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/ThDownload?

(follow the 'universal network boot floppy' link near the bottom of the
page.

Hmmm???

I think the documentation for k12ltsp should be updated to suggest the
thinstation project's 'universal' boot floppy images first. IF it's a
good idea, I'll help update the docs (and finally contribute more than
questions ;-) )
