> Opening a task for ltsp upstream to start using the new feature.

I'm hijacking the bug report a bit, but at the same time this feature is
integrated to LTSP upstream, i.e. when the LTSP code that generates
pxelinux.cfg/default is updated, it'd be nice to also include
boot=ltsp_nbd in the kernel command line, instead of putting
BOOT="ltsp_nbd" to ltsp-trunk/client/initramfs/conf.d/ltsp.

This will allow us to boot the same chroot with NFS or even locally,
without having to change it and run update-initramfs -u / ltsp-update-
kernels. So a sysadmin will be able to quickly test the changes he did
to his chroot with NFS, before putting it to production with NBD/ltsp-
update-image.

Having boot=xxx in the kernel command line isn't weird, casper uses it
for CDs too, and it's required for NFS booting, so why not put it there
for ltsp_nbd booting as well.
