Users selecting kernels?
I can't figure out for what use, but it is your party.

Install the several kernels on a system.
Take the /boot/vmlinuz.x.y.z's and /boot/config.x.y.z's to the FAI server
Unistall the several kernels

Make a "fai copy" entry in your install sequence
Install a lilo.conf that is aware the several kernels.

Contributions to FAI are welcome, other feedback also.
