The logs showed an error about missing the intrd image. I decided to 
punt by rsyncing my working nfsroot from fai 3.3 on lenny with the 
nfsroot on lucid. After that I edited /etc/fai.conf and /etc/hosts in 
the newly-mangled nfs root to point at the lucid server rather than the 
lenny and now it works.

I'm installing from the new server now.
