you nailed it.

Thank you, there's a big step forward:

append initrd=initrd.img-3.2.0-4-amd64 ip=dhcp  root=/dev/nfs
nfsroot=nfs://172.20.50.50/srv/fai/nfsroot aufs   FAI_ACTION=install

seems to cure the forementioned problem,
yielding the problem below :>

nfsvers=3 helps,

dracut: Mounted filesystem 172.20.50.50:/srv/fai/nsroot
can't open /etc/fstab No such files or directory

So, I'm back on nfsroot error level, thank you.


...And after a few changes in nfsroot/etc/fai/fai.conf My test client
is installing.

Thank you again
