Now I'm 99% to NBD root.  All the code except a script to generate the 
NBD images is written and pushed to ltsp-trunk upstream.  I sent another 
revision of necessary mkinitrd changes to pjones for code review.  Once 
both pieces are set, I will release ltsp-5.1.20 which supports NBD root 
boot.  I could use some help to write docs at that point.
