Hi John,

you should have a file 

    /srv/ftfp/fai/pxelinux.cfg/HEXADDR

where HEXADDR is the IP address of the client in HEX, so e.g. for
the client address 192.168.1.1 it would be C0A80101. This can be
created by fai-chboot.

In this file you will have an append-line, e.g:

   append initrd=initrd.img-3.2.0-4-amd64 ip=dhcp  root=/dev/nfs nfsroot=IP-of-NFS-Server:/srv/fai-wheezy/nfsroot:vers=3 aufs ...

Replace IP-of-NFS-Server by the IP address of your NFS server. That's
all you have to do. Then it will find the NFS server and will use nfs
version 3. Normally it would probably be version 4 but this will crash
with dracuit...

Best regards

Dirk
