Yeah, well, anyway there are issues with the squeeze version, I think this is
one of them.

Ok, I encountered this problem in a few pcs (without fai), but now I'm not
sure if it's a bios issue trying to be "clever" or a grub-pc issue. Anyway, I
think that fai should set the boot flag "just in case".

I'm using some new intel atom motherboards (D410PT).

I'm a newbie with fai, to test this I'll need to setup a multi chroot, which I
would like to do after having "something" working.

There is no grub prompt at all, the bios tries the next boot device, so I
assume it's a bios issue.
