Package: fai
Version: 3.2.17~lenny1
Severity: normal
Hi,
it seems that fai-chboot when writing PXE configs appends a
'nfsroot=/srv/fai/nfsroot' parameter. This expects that the nfs server
is on the same host as the tftp server AFAIUI.
In installations where this is not the case, the admin has to manually
change this parameter to 'nfsroot=192.168.24.1:/srv/fai/nfsroot' or something.
Or does the initramfs respect some magic (undocumented) dhcp options? In
that case, fai-chboot should probably not add any nfsroot parameter, but
rely solely on provided dhcp options.

fai-chboot uses the variable NFSROOT from
/etc/fai/make-fai-nfsroot.conf. There you can define different
settings. This is also available in 3.2.17.
IIRC, DHCP also has something like server-name which may be used by the initrd.
