As this is frequently asked on the #ltsp IRC channel, some detailed
instructions on how to disable nbd_proxy.

Steps only for Lucid:
--------------------------
1) Get a newer version of ltsp_nbd, by clicking "Download file" from this link:
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ltsp-upstream/ltsp/ltsp-trunk/annotate/1777/client/initramfs/scripts/ltsp_nbd
Save it in /opt/ltsp/i386/usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/ltsp_nbd
(the patch attached to this bug report isn't needed, an option to disable nbd_proxy was added before this bug was reported)

2) Update your initramfs and kernels:
sudo chroot /opt/ltsp/i386 update-initramfs -u
sudo ltsp-update-kernels

Common steps for Lucid and Maverick:
-------------------------------------------------
3) To specify that you don't want to use nbd_proxy:
$ sudo gedit /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386/pxelinux.cfg
and add "nbd_proxy=false" right next to "quiet splash" there.

4) To prevent the "nbd_proxy=false" option from being overwritten by future calls to ltsp-update-kernels:
$ sudo gedit /etc/ltsp/ltsp-update-image.conf
and add this line:
BOOTPROMPT_OPTIONS="quiet splash nbd_proxy=false"

-- 
nbd-proxy hangs the nbd-connection to server
