Your tip did help: I looked at the newer version of the script
make-fai-bootfloppy in FAI 2.9.1, and there was a small difference which
solved the problem:

And that's exactly what I get now, 5k bytes left:
# df -k
Filesystem           1K-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on
sarge-2.6.14.img     1430           1425         5 100% /mnt

It was a simple line in the script which made it work:
  rmdir /media/floppy/lost+found

I do not think this justifies a bug report for the fai package in
Debian sarge, it seems not to be release critical, and it is solved in
newer versions.

Thanks for the tips, best regards, Alex
