It sounds like you don't have the latest-and-greatest build of the 
v3.0 beta.  I just did a test install with the latest build, selecting
only Estonian, and it boots my terminals.

Below are a few tips to work around known problems with older builds.

Run this command:

	ldconfig -c /opt/ltsp/i386

You will probably also want to turn on XFS, in /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/lts.conf

	USE_XFS = Y

In at least one build it defaulted to enabling the floppy drivers. This
caused some terminals to crash. Try turning off floppy support in by 
commenting out this line in /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/lts.conf

	# RCFILE_01  = floppyd

Don't know on this one, the same version of DHCP and the same configurations
are used in v2.1.x & v3.0.

Would you mind posting your working v2.1 dhcpd.conf & your non-working v3.0
dhcpd.conf?
