/tmp/fai/fstab is generated by setup_harddisks, which is called by
the partition task; and yes, it is the same as backuped in the logs directory.

Upon installation, everything is mounted below /tmp/target, so / would be
/tmp/target, other partitions, e.g. /usr, would then be mounted as
/tmp/target/usr
