Damn, it is:

  xen4:~# ls -lh /boot/fai/vmlinuz-2.6.14.2-ugent-fai
-rw-r--r--  1 root root 1.6M Nov 24 23:09 
/boot/fai/vmlinuz-2.6.14.2-ugent-fai

I already tried to add an -F fai.iso option, but it still complains 
because dd creates a too small image.  Can I set this to a bigger value?

(And only use a cd to boot the machine)

Thanks in advance,
