Actually I helped myself. Was a really stupid mistake. Somehow I got 
hold of an unpatched NFSroot. (Didn't include the and-patch.)

On the bright side:

	root at gelbsucht:~# lsb_release -a
	No LSB modules are available.
	Distributor ID: Ubuntu
	Description:    Ubuntu 8.10
	Release:        8.10
	Codename:       intrepid

Full debootstrap from a lenny nfsroot, installation rules based on 
ubuntu hardy. Only changes I had to make:
   - add "--include=aptitude" to FAI_DEBOOTSTRAP_OPTS
   - rename /dev/hda to /dev/sda in menu.lst after grub has run

I LIKE THIS SHIT!   :p
