Seems that you are using fai 2.5.4.

In the next fai release (currently available as 2.5.5beta), this has
changed. fai-chboot has now a new option -o and the task_chboot has
changed. We do not need to copy the kernel and initrd from the install
server to the client. Have a look at the beta release, then things
should work.
