Nevermind. I've decided that since the two hosts do have small hard
drives, that I'll just put the kernel there. It'll be easier that
decrypting outdated howtos, save some space on the server, and speed up
the boot process. They both boot up fine, and I have been able to get
one to mount the home directory from the server so far. After getting
all the other remote filesystems to mount I'll have to work on getting
nis going. G'night!
