fai-bootcd 0.3.4 is out for sarge:

    http://holbytla.org/fai/

Package: fai-bootcd
Architecture: i386
Pre-Depends: fai (>=2.4), mkinitrd-cd (>=0.25), patch
Depends: fai-kernels, apt-utils, dpkg-awk, libc6-dev, dash, mkisofs, mknbi, grub
Suggests: syslinux, cdrecord
Description: FAI BootCD
 Scripts to create an FAI BootCD - a bootable iso9660 image for use
 with FAI - to perform non-interactive, automated installations of
 Debian GNU/Linux meta-distributions without network connectivity.

Unfortunately the *uclib* packages in sarge are currently broken, so
until the 0.9.26-3 packages move into testing you can only build a sarge
fai-bootcd on unstable/sid.  There's a small patch for make-fai-nfsroot
below - I don't use dhcp but others who do may want to fix this properly
for sarge.

Please email me directly for help, bug reports or feedback, or even just
to say that you're using it and it works (anyone else find fai-bootcd
useful or is it just me? ;-)).
