I've never needed mknbi-linux, or anything else from the netboot package. 
Admittedly, I don't use 3Com cards, and I have my own FAI bootdisk I made,
but it certainly isn't required to make FAI do what it should.  As it
stands, the FAI scripts call mknbi-linux, but that should be shrouded in a
[ -e /usr/bin/mknbi-linux ] or or config option, because I'm using FAI quite
happily without it.  (Commented out).
