The problem simply is that this feature wasn't merged into 3.4.8 - it's still
available in 4.0* versions only, i.e., experimental builds or manual builds from
SVN trunk.

We do work on getting 4.0 released some time soon, but no timeline has been
fixed yet (we release when it's ready...).

What you might want to go for, however, is simply using the fai-setup-storage
package from experimental, but otherwise stick with FAI 3.4.8. That should be
safe to do.

Sorry,
Michael
