I wonder why you need to do this. It's already done in
fai-make-nfsroot.

--arch is only needed if your install server is not of the same
architecture.

IMO this is much more complicated than the default. Just use the
packages sysvinit-core and systemd-sysv- in /etc/fai/NFSROOT. Then
your target can have systemd without any futher work like creating a
custom base.tar.gz.
