  Hello,

  I've got the same problem with a Debian-Live system booted from PXE
network (follow this thread :
http://lists.debian.org/debian-live/2008/09/msg00248.html), and the solution was to use a small script (attached to this e-mail) to select the right interface (one connected) to do the DHCP, then NFS mount. The script has to be installed in the FAI's initrd : put it in the scripts/init-premount/ of the FAI Initramfs' config directory () and rebuild the initrd for your net boot.

	Fred.
