Hi Niall, hi all... I work together with Thomas W and we still have no sucess with fai-bootcd.

We use pure woody systems ;-) and therefor we use fai-bootcd 0.2.1-2
and fai-2.3.1

No, it isn't - it still calls /sbin/prepareroot which is only available
in gibraltar-bootsupport - but we don't that package, right.

how is linuxrc fixed ?

make-fai-bootcd reports no errors, the only problem - at least to me -
is the linuxrc which calls prepareroot.
After prepareroot linuxrc calls init that fails, too. Have a look at the
attached screenshot, please.

your help is very much appreciated!
