A PXE booting client which is booting from a fai server that
was setup with a usb-stick, which carry a filesystem like
fai-cd and a modified config space.

nfs error.... 2
I can try to fetch the exact message tomorrow but it was not 
help-full.

Then timeout and stay in a shell of the debian live system
where fai boot based on.

On the fai server of course.

May be that I have a other problem that I solve with this workaround
that why I ask if this problem is known by other users. 
It seems that I must debug the problem a little bit more and give 
more details that somebody can help.

For the moment I will live with this workaround and hope that the real
problem will not stop me. :-)  

thanks Andreas
