make-fai-bootfloppy for more than one fai-server

Hello,

we've got two FAI-Servers here, one for production use and one for
testing. And we use FAI from woody. 

make-fai-bootfloppy appends a static nfsroot to the kernel startline, so
the resulting floppies will only work for the server on which the
floppies were created despite the fact that bootp ist used for
configuration.

This simple hack fixes the problem:

lnx02:/usr/sbin# diff make-fai-bootfloppy make-fai-bootfloppy~
172,173c172
<     #append="nfsroot=$SERVERIP:$NFSROOT $params"
<     append="$params"
---
>     append="nfsroot=$SERVERIP:$NFSROOT $params"


Should I invest time on a brighter solution or did someone allready did
this ?


regards,
	Holger
