The whole "magic" on FAI starts from a single symbolic link: in the<br>
nfsroot , /etc/init.d/rcS is not a script as usual, but a link<br>
to /usr/sbin/fai. As you probably know, the inittab instructs init to<br>
run that script as one of the first things during boot.<br>
<br>
So if you manage to boot a kernel and mount the FAI nfsroot (from CD,<br>
from network, or otherwise) as root file system (chroot should work<br>
too), you should just start the /usr/sbin/fai script from command prompt<br>
to get the install going.<br>
<br>
(Never tried it myself, so there may be details I am unaware of).<br>
