If I add these lines at the top:

-----------8<--------------------
disk_config sda

disk_config sdb
-----------8<--------------------

I get:

INTERNAL ERROR in setup-storage:
Invalid device /dev/sdb-1
Please report this error to the Debian Bug Tracking System.

thanks for the hint ;)
This computer boots from network, and leaves the initial ramdisk on /
(note the missing "/" in the config).  FAI is here not used to
install the system but we only wanted to use the script setup-storage.

Best,
