The kernel NFS root mounter reverts to the default /tftpboot/<hostname> in the
absence of an nfsroot= parameter (see nfsroot.txt in linux/Documentation).
I fixed this by hacking make-fai-bootfloppy to read
title FAI-FIXED-IP
kernel (fd0)/$kernel root=/dev/nfs nfsroot=$SERVERIP:$NFSROOT $fixedparams $params
savedefault
(and doing the same to the LILO section)
Looks like a FAI bug to me...
