Remi,
Etherboot (and so rom-o-matic.net) does not currently support PCMCIA
adapters in laptops.
It's hard to do because the PCMCIA subsystem is another layer that has to
be found and initialized, and it is non-trivial. We are moving in that
direction, and I suspect in the next year we may get there.
Since you have a laptop, which presumably has a hard disk, you could
create and load a real kernel which is what Etherboot would do for you.
You could then run as a remote client to an LTSP server.
Someday Etherboot may support PCMCIA on laptops, but for now, you'll have
to load a kernel from other media.
