I use the fai repo with debian squeeze and  use make-fai-nfsroot
instead of fai-setup. When it is done downloading/debootstrapping
everything, it sets both the vmlinuz as the initrd file in the
$TFTPROOT indicated in /etc/fai/make-fai-nfsroot.conf.

check in your tftp server that those files are there. You should have
both a vmlinuz.... as a initrd file with the same kernel version.
