I tried this but nothing happened, still no initrd and no error messages 
occured.
The initramfs-tools and linux-image-686 is also marked as installed.

Next thing I tried was to build a new debootstrap and installed the 
linux-image-686 manually.
There are the same errors from "df ..." but the initrd was installed.
Then I just copied this initrd into the fai generated nfsroot and called 
update-initramfs -u -t and then everything worked.

But running fai-setup -U -v is still not possible. If somebody can give 
me some advice where to start with tracing this error would be very kind 
or is it possibly an debian internal problem?

Regards
Ralph
