Installed from a testing ( sarge ) CD-ROM 1 but further package downloading 
was done from unstable, so I changed unstable to testing 
in /etc/apt/sources.list, and with a following 
apt-get update
apt-get dist-upgrade
initrd-tools were installed and I could do a

mkinitrd -o /boot/initrd.img-2.4.22-ac1-ssi-686-smp 2.4.22-ac1-ssi-686-smp

which resulted in a working initrd and a succesfull reboot into node 1 :-)

Thanx a lot for your help!

Nevertheless, booting node 2 failed. First, pxelinux.0 was missing, so I had 
to install syslinux and copy pxelinux.0 from /usr/lib/syslinux/ to /tftpboot.

Now it's getting stuck at tftpd trying to serve the files (already tried 
restarting inetd and of course rebooting node 2 several times, the tftpd 
entry in inetd.conf points to /tftpboot). Attached are the relevant parts 
from syslog, after that tftp gets stuck.

Think I'm pretty close, now  :-)) Just one more hint ...
