upgrade FAI 2.10.2 to FAI 3

[Rudy Gevaert]

Hello,

I'm a happy FAI user, and was wondering how I would accomplish my 
upgrade from pgrade FAI 2.10.2 to FAI 3.

First some background information:

Our FAI install server is running sarge on a 64bit kernel but in 32 bit 
mode, and with FAI 2.10.2

The install server is exporting two sarge nfsroots, one for i386 and one 
for amd64.

I make my 64bit FAI nfsroot:
- by chrooting into a 64bit chroot on the system where I have FAI 2.10.2 
64bit installed.
- run make-fai-nfsroot
- get out the chroot and then cp the FAI nfsroot to the place where it 
is exported

So I want to upgrade my FAI to version 3.  That first of all means that 
I will have to run etch. Assuming that the dist-upgrade goes fine, I can 
install the latest FAI and configure it a bit.

But I would like to provide some support for my sarge installed 
machines.  E.g. I should be able to reinstall my sarge installed servers 
(i386 and amd64bit).  And then begin installing etch machines :)

I see not to much problems, except:
- my configspace depending a bit on sarge
- serving/creating the sarge nfsroot

Does FAI 3 support serving several nfsroot out of the box?

If there are any suggestions please give me some feedback.

Thanks in advance,

Rudy
