It means, that the pxelinux/cfg ditrectory is created and the kernel,
the initramfs and pxelinux.0 is copied to the tftp directory.
You are right, the DHCP daemon itself is not set up.

No. I think it's not easy to configure the DHCP by FAI. I guess people
have very different and maybe complicated DHCP setups, so it's easier
to let people to this instead of a script that will break an existing
dhcpd.conf. Btw, the next FAI version will have a simple script, that
helps adding/removing host entries to/from your dhcpd.conf.
