fai-make-nfsroot fails to download certain packages

[Adam Weremczuk]

Hi Thomas,

The config is likely outdated as it was first tried something like 10-15 
years ago.
This is something I've inherited and trying to find my ways around.
I've made some progress and now seeing the following when installing 
Debian 9 on a slave client:

Begin: Running /scripts/init-premount ... done.
Begin: Mounting root file system ... Begin: Running /scripts/local-top 
... done
Begin: Running /scripts/local premount ... [   8.438160] Btrfs loaded, 
crc32c=crc32c generic
Scanning for Btrfs filesystems
done.
Warning: fsck not present, so skipping root file system
Usage: mount [-r] [-w] [-o options] [-t type] [-f] [-i] [-n] device 
directory
done.
Begin: Running /scripts/local-bottom ... /scripts/local-bottom/mdadm: 2: 
/scripts/local-bottom/mdadm: rm: not found
done.
Begin: Running /scripts/init-bottom ... mount: No such file or directory
mount: invalid option --
done.
mount: No such file or directory
run-init: current directory on the same filesystem as the root: error 0
Target filesystem doesn't have requested /sbin/init.
run-init: current directory on the same filesystem as the root: error 0
(repeated 4 more times)
No init found. Try passing init= bootarg.
(initramfs)

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,
Adam
