I'm sorry, I think I wasn't clear enough. I was talking about the laptop
but I am going to port this configuration to a cluster, and I don't want to
connect a terminal to every computer so I can choose what I am going to
boot. I think this breaks a little the benefits of using FAI.

However, I don't know what is usually done in situations like this. How do
I automate this step of the installation process?
