What I did on old P100 with 500 Mb hard disk : Create a little partition where to install freedos (www.freedos.org). The autoexec.bat of freedos launches the etherboot "Dos Executable ROM image (.com)" from www.rom-o-matic.com , --> LTSP. It works everyday here at my work. So creating a second partition and installing a local OS with a boot-manager should not be a problem.
