You need the dracut module network-legay, not network (which needs systemd)
which is hardocded in fai-make-nfsroot.

Which version of FAI do you have on this bullseye machine? 5.10.X?
Or a FAI 6.x version?

I guess you need to use the newer version of fai-make-nfsroot (from
bookworm) on the bullseye machine. Maybe it's just related to
https://bugs.debian.org/1010906 but I did more changes to this script
for newer dracut versions.

I do not remember correctly if it's possible to use the bookworm
packages of FAI on a bullseye host system to create a bookworm
nfsroot. But I would guess it's possible.
