Easiest thing to find out is to change:

  /usr/lib/fai/nfsroot/sbin/rcS_fai

-#set -xv # for full debugging
+set -xv # for full debugging

Do a test installation and then look at the created logs:

  # less ~fai/<host name>/last-install/rcS.log

That will show you what's going on, when and what hooks and other
files are usedexecuted. You will then be able to adjust your
installation flow to your liking.

See above.
