Ok, I'll give it a try an report any success. Since I used your 
repository in sources.list, and is in the middle of a major upgrade, 
about half of the clients have fai-client 3.1.8 and the rest 3.2, so I 
have a perfect test environment.

But make-fai-bootfloppy uses $NFSROOT/boot/vnlinu?-*. If that is a 
standard debian kernel it won't work without initramfs.

I can of course edit make-fai-bootfloppy to make is use the kernel from 
fai-kernels, but I presume that this package won't be updated in the 
future.

Do you meen that I should use -g to supply a menu.lst like the one 
make-fai-boot creates, and then use "-m /empty/dir"?
