Hi Thomas,

I looked the output of make-fai-nfsroot and found that the
installation process complained when it tried to configure
dhcp3-client.

As a test (maybe dangerous), I remove dhcp3-client in the line which
starts "packages=...". Then I installed an old version of mknbi for my
master server (amd64). After that I ran
fai-setup -v and everything seems to be OK. I got the following output

--------------------------
`/etc/fai/fai.conf' -> `/usr/lib/fai/nfsroot/etc/fai/fai.conf'
`/etc/fai/fai.log' -> `/usr/lib/fai/nfsroot/etc/fai/fai.log'
`/etc/fai/make-fai-nfsroot.conf' ->
`/usr/lib/fai/nfsroot/etc/fai/make-fai-nfsroot.conf'
`/etc/fai/make-fai-nfsroot.log' ->

Re-exporting directories for NFS kernel daemon...done.

   You have no FAI configuration space yet. Copy the simple examples with:
   cp -a /usr/share/doc/fai/examples/simple/* /usr/local/share/fai
   Then change the configuration files to meet your local needs.

FAI setup finished.
--------------------------------------------------------
>From what I read in FAI manual. This is done.

Now I encounted another problem. When I booted a client (using pxe
boot ROM), it complains about no tftp (TFTP: file error). I see
tftpd-hpa daemon running and dhcp3-server running. What could be my
error here?

Sincerely,
Tuan
