You could just do all the chowning operations as a post-install script (i.e.
after FAI finishes and reboots, somewhere in run level 2) after NIS is up.
It's a really simple way of getting around the problem that I've used, although
not very elegant.

Implementation points:
Have a script in init.d (best if the file is created sing the default scripts)
with the last line being rm -f /etc/init.d/scriptname (best added from the end
of LAST) which creates a very simple run-once post-installer script.
