Starting FAI off a running system

[Toomas Tamm]

Hello all!

I have a host which has a very old version of Linux installed on the
hard disk. I also have a bootable USB stick which contains FAI and can
install a newer version of Debian on other hosts. The motherboard on
that old machine does not seem to be able to boot neither off the
network nor off that USB stick.

Assuming I can mount the filesystem on the FAI USB stick under the
already-installed system, is it possible to start FAI and reinstall the
system? Any hints at how to do that?
