Great. I'm always very interested in user experiences with FAI. Can you
please fill out the FAI questionnaire http://fai-project.org/questionnaire
and send it back to me.

AFAIK it's set in /etc/mysql/debian.cnf
But during a FAI installation no daemons are started. So, you cannot
feed the database with data durin FAI installation. Normally this is
done during the first boot using a script like
/etc/rc2.d/S99set-my-mysql.
