Okay, found it.

That is okay. As soon as we get reproducable instruction on how to get
this working, anybody should be able to do that. We should not close
this bug report until it is in place (or another replaces it).

Ok.

Ah, I did not see them since they are at Base=/ and by default only
Base=/Students were visible.
But after doing that, it actually works :)
The crucial points to add to the documentation are then:
(* diskless workstations must be added to ldap. And a howto add all
hosts in a network? And how to find the MAC address using the CD).
* Adding the host to the netgroup workstatin-hosts (note about Base=/)
* /usr/sbin/ldap2bind (sudo ...)
