I think that there are also some other fai users reading this list ;-)

Normally, the user fai should be in the group fai. Maybe your adduser
defaults are different.

??? Any problems with it?

Know problem. Your are using mknbi-linux from the package mknbi, but
you need executable from the package netboot. Please, submit a bug to
these two packages that are using different options.

installimage is only used for bootp. dhcp is using vmlinuz-install

My nfs server does not complain. Please send me the error
message. Isn't async the default?

>From the exports man page:

The default is to allow the server to write the data out whenever it
is ready.  This can be explicitly requested with the async option.

    > 4b) why 'ro'?
Because no client should write anything to it.
