So, I found this message from the fai lists:
http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.debian.fai/8253
except it uses the old(?) initramfs method of FAI from a while ago.
Now, FAI uses dracut, so what is the translation of the above into dracut?
Basically, I need to add some more modules into the initrd in order
for a USB dongle to be (I hope) properly set up after the PXE boot,
but I'm not sure how to do that in the new dracut world order.
Thank you!
