I've been using FAI for more than ten years now, and I *always* forget to
bootstrap the server side. This is kind of a chicken-and-egg scenario...

I upgraded all installed fai-* packages from 5.10.3 to 6.0.5 (I had to resolve
a dependency on zstd while doing so), and the original config worked.
Now I'm going to apply my personal changes (a few RAID CLIs, etc), but there's
a new hope now!
