In my case, the switch is slow to detect : it has a orange led when it
detects a link, and the led becomes green when autoconfiguration is
completed ; but the dhcp request has failed meantime. It deosn't fail
with the standard workstations : they do wait for the swith ....

mkdir /boot/ltsp
cp /mnt/floppy/* /boot/ltsp
In /etc/lilo.conf, add this :
image=/boot/ltsp/vmlinuz
label=ltsp
root=/dev/hda6 <--- the partition on which is /boot
initrd=/boot/ltsp/initrd.img
append="init=/linuxrc rw root=/dev/ram0"
then launch lilo.
The last line is a pure invention of mine ; I created it from
/mnt/floppy/syslinux.cfg and my existing lilo.conf.
