make sure that /root/.ssh/ in the nfsroot area has all the files
required to do an automated login .. specifically, the known_hosts
file with the servers host keys in it, and an ssh key file set that
has an empty passphrase attached to it, and of course the fai log user
account needs to have that public key in the ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
file on the server, too.

once all that's in place you should have no problems with automated
logins from the client boxes.
