No reaqson to go manual! :)

I also use FAI at home for a 5-machine network where each host differs.
Give your machines hard-assigned hostnames according to their NIC's
hardware address, and put a matching disk_config file for each in
fail/disk_config.

You can also put a special fstab for each host in files, in case FAI's
auto-created fstab doesn't match your needs, or aded sepcial lines in
there with cfengine.
