The problem here, is that the link /dev/fd was not "mounted" to the
client. This is weird, because I _do_ got the link "/dev/fd" in the
/usr/lib/fai/nfsroot directory on the FAI server.

As a very primitive workaround I added the following line to
$FAI_NFS_ROOT/sbin/rcS_fai:

[ ! -L /dev/fd ] && ln -s /proc/self/fd /dev/fd

And the error is gone.

bye.
