My first guess is that you do not have udev running and maybe the
entries in /dev on the client are missing.

Ooops. Whithout this directory, FAI can load kernel drivers. Therefore
you do not see any drives.

You can just untar or copy this tree from the fai-kernel into the
nfsroot. That should work.
