FAI is the version available in the Debian bookworm repository, ie. 
fai-quickstart 6.0.3+deb12u1 and its dependencies. This is a fresh 
install, I am using a PXE environment.

different:

root at zendis01:/# ls -al /dev/nvme*
crw------- 1 root root 245, 0 Nov  7 09:18 /dev/nvme0
brw------- 1 root root 259, 0 Nov  7 09:18 /dev/nvme0n1
brw------- 1 root root 259, 1 Nov  7 09:18 /dev/nvme0n1p1
brw------- 1 root root 259, 2 Nov  7 09:18 /dev/nvme0n1p2
brw------- 1 root root 259, 3 Nov  7 09:18 /dev/nvme0n1p3
root at zendis01:/#

I can happily confirm that the issue is gone after adding the FAI repo 
to sources.list and dist-upgrading the system, FAI is now 6.2.3 .

Thank you for the pointer,
Thoralf.
