live-boot + FAI fails

Hi,

I digged a bit more into this issue.  Checking the history of the live-boot 
package, I found that the last version that worked for me was 3.0~a25-1.

I fetched the packages from snapshots.debian.org and installed them in the 
chroot and prepared the fai-cd as usual [1].  This CD does not fail as described 
in the privious mail, but boots as expected.

So something must have changed in live-boot* that spoils at least my use case.

Best regards,

	Andi
