Surely, this is possible. You can even use a Solaris or AIX box as
install server. FAI uses default services to perform the
installation. You need a tftp, BOOTP od DHCP and a NFS server. That's
all. But it will be difficult to create the nfsroot on a non Debian
host. But if you like, I will create a nfsroot for you. Then you have
to make some changes to the nfsroot manually. But it will work.
