This is a known issue. I'm not sure if there's a proper fix. If you
have different types of NIC you can add eth1 to the ip parameter
in pxelinux.cfg. Read nfsroot.txt in the kernel source for more information
or have a look at /etc/fai/menu.lst where we use this parameter

ip=<client-ip>:<server-ip>:<gw-ip>:<netmask>:<hostname>:<device>:<autoconf>
