Here's a simple solution for getting fai-cd work again on etch.

Add the following line to your sources.list

   deb http://www.informatik.uni-koeln.de/fai/download etch koeln

then

   aptitude install mkinitrd-cd

Call fai-cd.


That's all? Yes.
What does it do? It installs the mkinird-cd package and all additional
needed packages from sarge onto your etch installserver. I've copied
these deb files into the FAI package repository.

mkinitrd-cd_0.52_i386.deb uclibc-toolchain_0.9.27-1_i386.deb 
libuclibc-dev_0.9.27-1_i386.deb libuclibc0_0.9.27-1_i386.deb

Hint: If your installation from fai-cd is slow, check if DMA mode is
enabled for your CD-ROM and hard disk. You may need to add some
kernel driver into the mkinitrd config.
