Ok, first of all you should get accustomed to the format this file uses, because
this is the way you specify packages to get installed on your clients as well.

But anyway: First, build a kernel package as a usual Debian package (nothing FAI
specific, apart from the hint Henning posted yesterday: take care of unionfs).
Next, put it on some local mirror or package repository. This repository must
then be set in /etc/fai/apt/sources.list. Last, add your package to the NFSROOT
file, simply be replacing one of the linux-image-* entries, depending on your
client architecture (see the PACKAGES aptitude lines).

Well, and you should probably read the FAI guide :-)

Best,
Michael

PS.: Please keep linux-fai CC'ed, so others can help out as well.
