fai-setup failed

[Robert Markula]

Hi Riza,
there is no need to edit the NFSROOT file. The nfsroot has nothing to do
with the system later installed (it is the base.tgz that is relevant for
the system to be installed). Leave it to the default [1] and see if
fai-setup -v continues to throw any errors. Btw, make sure that
FAI_DEBOOTSTRAP is set to "lenny http://ftp.debian.org/debian" in your
/etc/fai/make-fai-nfsroot.conf.

Cheers,
Robert
