You must use the initrd from inside the nfsroot, not from a normal
running system. That's very important.

FAI currently does not use systemd during the startup process. Make
sure that you have this line in your /etc/fai/NFSROOT:
sysvinit-core systemd-sysv-

That means, systemd-sys must not be installed inside the nfsroot but
sysvinit-core will be installed. Check the log of fai-make-nfsroot if
this is fine in your enironment.

It's not problem to create the nfsroot on a remote machine, then
copying it to your install server.
