I found out that I can view the init script from /boot/initrd.img-* via 
a procedure like:

      $ mkdir -p /tmp/initrd
      $ cd /tmp/initrd
      $ cp /boot/initrd.img-<rest of your filename> ./initrd.gz
      $ gzip -d initrd.gz
      $ cpio -i < initrd

After that the contents of the initrd are going to be unpacked into the 
/tmp/initrd directory.

But that is not the same initrd used on the LTSP client, is it?  If so, 
there is no mention of nbd anywhere in its init script.
