Restart a FAI installation without reboot

I wasn't really convinced whether this would work at all, but then again there
isn't much of a reason why it shouldn't work :-) Good to know that indeed it
*does* work.

Patrick, what about simply adding a script in the NFSROOT that performs this
sequence of commands? Maybe try umount -a instead, however, which (1) makes the
sequence simpler and (2) should be safer with respect to the number of
directories that might be mounted under /target.

Thomas, why not have such a script in the fai-nfsroot package? I suppose that
more testing is warranted, but it could be pretty helpful as one may even fix
problems in the config space without doing a reboot...

Best regards,
Michael
