Are you setting SSH_IDENTITY in fai.conf? The file it's pointing to have
to be owned by root, and readable by root, and only root... otherwise
ssh will complain and not let you in. To solve it I added the following
to make-fai-nfs-root (might not apply cleanly as it is a cut'n'paste
patch):

Try to add:

. $diskvar

early in scripts/BOOT. That solved the problem with empty boot= for me.
