FAI: installation aborted.

I've gotten past the previous NFS errors, and now have
FAI specific errors :)  

I see the boot of FAI going, it loads the network card, the hard drive
controller, and then it gets to runlevel 2 and stops. 

here's the output:

Initializing random number generator....done.
Optimizing hardware...
INIT: Entering runlevel: 2
FAI: installation aborted.
reboot with: faireboot
or after a logout
sh: no job control in this shell

and that's it.  faimond doesn't show anything.  I previously
had an error about the file system being readonly, so I change
my export from:

/diskless_ro     128.59.16.0/255.255.248.0(async,ro,no_root_squash)
to 
/diskless_ro     128.59.16.0/255.255.248.0(async,rw,no_root_squash)

and it got past that.  Then I saw some mail thread by Yuri Adrián González
Robles and tried changning the pxelinux.cfg boot config line.  currently
the file consists of:

label fai-generated
kernel vmlinuz-install
append auto rw ip=dhcp devfs=nomount FAI_ACTION=install root=/dev/nfs  
FAI_FLAGS=verbose,sshd,createvt,syslogd

I also chmod -R a+r /diskless_ro...should I try a+rw ?

regards,
Dan
