Thanks for your answer, it seems to help. (I've put that live-netdev=eth0 in the kernel line pxelinux.cfg/ip) 
one interesting error regarding this thing was logged in the first few lines of fai.log: 
/usr/lib/fai/subroutines: line 674: export: 'live-netdev=eth0':not a valid identifier 
don't know if that a problem... 

if this really is the solution (or at least workarround) for the multi-nic problem, shouldn't this be mentioned anywhere in the fai documentation? (although it is a fix for live-linux-whatever it's called) 

regards!
