I need to fix this. I meant, of course:
FAI_DEBOOTSTRAP="intrepid http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu"

In my opinion if a nfsroot-hooks file was created is meant to be sourced.
I have not checked if it works without the file. I remember that some
read-write errors happened because of unionfs filesystem this is why I
included this by default.

This avoids the perl warning errors and many others, taken from Achim.

I suppose that it was needed to edit this file although I am not expert on
Debian packages.

This is the hook so that the system does not complain about not having a
/var/lock and a /var/run mount point at normal boot.
Does any one know about a better fix?


Well, that's all. As always any comment is welcome.
