FAI 3.2.4 and fai-cd

We've been using FAI for quite a while now and we're attempting to step 
up from FAI v3.1 to v3.2.4. Most everything is working for us except ... 
the ISO built by fai-cd is not quite organized properly. It is a 
bootable CD (/boot exists and contains an kernel and grub). The rest of 
the root filesystem ends up in /live/filesystem.dir/. When booting from 
the CD we get a long timeout while "waiting for the root filesystem".

I've looked at what fai-cd is doing. It creates the temporary dir $tmp 
and then constructs $tmp/boot/grub. It then mounts 
nfsroot/live/filesystem.dir in $tmp/live/filesystem.dir. There are some 
other steps but ... nothing changes the basic organization that the root 
filesystem is in $tmp/live/filesystem.dir while boot is in $tmp. The 
mkisofs call builds the iso from $tmp.

Am I missing something? Please help.
