Package: fai-server
Version: 3.4.2
Severity: normal
File: /usr/sbin/fai-cd


I got my fai-* packeges from sid a few days ago.

I want to use FAI to do some installs on some systems which have no
cdrom drive and cannot PXE boot so I wanted to use fai-cd's -u option
to make a bootable USB stick.

But it is not working.  The resulting USB stick is not bootable.

Looking at the relevant blocks of the USB stick, it looks like no
bootloader has been installed  (blocks are full of zeroes).

I did some reading of /usr/sbin/fai-cd and it seems that the second
half of mkusb (including the body of find_fai_data) assumes grub
version 1 and cannot work with grub version 2.
