Micha,
The problem is 4mb of ram is NOT enough.
To get booted, the workstation needs to load the kernel
and the initrd image into ram. It needs more than 4mb
to do that.
It is possible to build a Linux kernel that doesn't need
the initrd. you would have to pick your network card
driver and compile it in, rather than making it a module.
There is some information on kernel building in the LTSP-3.0
documentation.
