I didn't touch /etc/fstab after the installation, and - yes - it
contains a line which mounts /srv with options "rw,nosuid". After
removing the nosuid option the installation works. THANKS!
(Is this a bug of the .iso, similar to the missing TFTPROOT
in /etc/fai/make-fai-nfsroot.conf?)

I still have a small issue, though, which seems to be known already:

Apt-proxy complains "Bad header" and waits for long timeouts. The
related output during the installation looks like this:

(Note that I have changed the IP address of the server from
192.168.1.250 to 192.168.0.200)

I assume this is not critical and the packages are simply not updated
from the public Debian repository in the Internet (as the installing
host does not have an Internet connection). Can you confirm?
