FAI_FLAGS must be set in the very beginning. It can't be set by *.var
scripts. I will change the documentation. DHCP3 is broken, as it can't
support user defined tag. But you can supply FAI_FALGS as kernel
parameters.
for PXE boot use:
/boot/fai/pxelinux/cfg/default:
.
.
.
append ip=dhcp root=/dev/nfs FAI_FLAGS=verbose,createvt,sshd
