This could be made much simpler. If the variable $netdevices is
defined, then only this list of interfaces is used and not all
available ethernet devices. Define this variable in /etc/fai.conf (the
next fai version will use /etc/fai/fai.conf) and rebuild the nfsroot
or copy trhis file to $NFSROOT/etc/fai.conf. Here's an example

/etc/fai.conf:
netdevices=eth0
