I've successfully configured a boot floppy that worked with a 2.4.x
kernel and a 3Com 3C589 PCMCIA card. I did not boot LTSP from them but
a root NFS install of RH 7.1 just to test out getting IrDA to work on
the laptops.

Indeed. Which project will allow you to do this, or how do you propose
to accomplish this feat? I'd be very interested to know. I am aware of
the LinuxBIOS project that will allow you to boot another kernel vs.
using the one burned into BIOS.
