The problem comes from the dhcp configuration: from version 3.0.3 the 
'next-server' parameter is required even if the tftp server is also the 
dhcp server. This new behavior is advertised in dhcp3-server/NEWS.Debian.gz.

It would probably be useful to change the comment about the next-server 
parameter in the dhcpd.conf example included in fai-doc.
