I  have no solution for you to add into your "bag of tricks"...:-(

The black screen bug is dead and I now see the red-color FAI text logo 
for the first time, along with the full diagnostic output on the 
fai-client display.  In addition, now when fai-client build aborts it 
drops to the ...# prompt and waits for me like it is supposed to.  And 
ssh works fine.  All good news.

Truthfully -- I have modified a few things but I can not get back to 
conditions where the black screen existed.  So I have no reproducible 
problem and simple modification.

I did have one disappointing event.  To add a package to nfsroot, I ran 
"fai-make-nfsroot -k" but got no log entry in /var/log/fai.  It needs to 
happen a few more times before calling it a problem.

System build on the fai-client still does not finish successfully for 
demohost, but I can now see what is going on.
Thanks for your guidance.

Geo
