thanks,  I install these now.  I rewrite little fai.conf and try to use it.
but client goes panic:
IP-Config: Got DHCP answer from 10.16.66.20, my address is 10.16.66.130
IP-Config: Complete:
      device=eth0, addr=10.16.66.130, mask=255.255.224.0, gw=10.16.66.50,

I use my own kernel and also kernel from fai-kernels_1.5, it's 2.4.20.

my configuration is /etc/fai/fai.conf:
installserver=moon
ftpserver=ftp.debian.org
debdist=woody # distribution: woody, sarge, sid
FAI_DEBOOTSTRAP="$debdist http://debian:9999/main"
FAI_DEBOOTSTRAP_OPTS="--arch i386 --exclude=pcmcia-cs,ppp,pppconfig,pppoe,pppoeconf"
FAI_SOURCES_LIST="deb http://debian:9999/main $debdist main contrib non-free
deb http://debian:9999/non-US $debdist/non-US main contrib non-free
deb http://security.debian.org/ $debdist/updates main contrib non-free"
FAI_LOCAL_REPOSITORY="deb file:/fai/files packages/"
NFSROOT_PACKAGES="expect"
FAI_ROOTPW="56hNVqht51tzc"
KERNELPACKAGE=/usr/src/kernel-image-2.4.20_fai_2_i386.deb
NFSROOT_ETC_HOSTS="10.16.66.20 moon fai"
LOGUSER=fai
FAI_REMOTESH=rsh
FAI_REMOTECP=rcp
FAI_CONFIGDIR=/usr/local/share/fai
FAI_LOCATION=$installserver:$FAI_CONFIGDIR
NFSROOT=/usr/lib/fai/nfsroot
FAI=/fai
OS_TYPE=`uname -s |  tr /A-Z/ /a-z/`

I use PXE and my default is
default fai-install

label fai-install
kernel installkernel
append ip=dhcp

label fai-local
kernel localkernel
