Thats true for the fai kernel as well. I have to use 
"make-fai-bootfloppy -B". But by increasing $size further, it should be 
possible to make initrd.img* fit, or am I wrong?

Having the config space and the nfsroot on the CD is no problem as long 
as it isn't used. But if I use this in menu.lst:

   ...  root=/dev/nfs ip=::::::dhcp  FAI_ACTION=install FAI_FLAGS=verbose,sshd

together with my current dhcp configuration:

   option root-path "/srv/fai/nfsroot,rsize=8192,...";

or maybe use nfsroot as a kernel parameter, the configuration on the CD 
should be ignored.

The reason why I want this minimal boot-CD is to be able to change the 
configuration without creating a new CD every time.

By the way, why does burniso() in fai-cd use cdrecord? Shouldn't it be 
wodim these days?
