in /usr/share/fai/subroutines there is a bash-function called
"task_install" which calls the tasks. You can use this as a list.

This is from fai2.3.1:

task_install() {

    > $stamp

    save_dmesg
    load_keymap_consolechars

    task partition
    task mountdisks
    task extrbase
    task mirror
    task updatebase
    task instsoft
    task configure
    task finish
    date
    echo -e "FAI finished.\a"
    task chboot

    rm -f $stamp
    # save again, because new messages could be created
    save_dmesg
    task savelog

    if [ -f $stamp ]; then
        echo "Error while executing commands in subshell."
        echo "$stamp was not removed."
        die "Please look at the log files in $LOGDIR for errors."
    fi
    task faiend
}

hooks are class based as well. The system you're trying to install has
to belong to this class. To learn more about hooks you could copy
hooks/savelog.LAST to hooks/savelog.DEFAULT and modify it a bit and see
what happens...
