Bug Description

Using a Jammin 125 thin client from Diskless Workstations, Ubuntu Fiesty, ltsp packages installed from instructions in the documentation (through apt).

When the client would boot with the default image, (2.6.20) it would try to load the nbi image and error out with a message saying "Segment in reserved area". Compared the new NBI file against a working NBI file from LTSP 4 and found that the working one was an NBI format where as the LTSP 5 image was an ELF format.

<--- Fix --->
apt-get install mknbi
cd /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386
mknbi-linux --output=nbi-new.img --rootdir="/dev/ram0" --append="rw" vmlinuz initrd.img
Modify the dhcp to use the new NBI file instead of the old, restart DHCP, reboot the terminal

Upstream ltsp is calling mknbi when present to make nbi.img.
