I'm not sure, but I guess it should work.
Ok, I'll give it a try an report any success. Since I used your
repository in sources.list, and is in the middle of a major upgrade,
about half of the clients have fai-client 3.1.8 and the rest 3.2, so I
have a perfect test environment.

It's still available and was not modified, so it does not support
the initrd.
But make-fai-bootfloppy uses $NFSROOT/boot/vnlinu?-*. If that is a
standard debian kernel it won't work without initramfs.
I can of course edit make-fai-bootfloppy to make is use the kernel from
fai-kernels, but I presume that this package won't be updated in the
future.

You can create a fai-cd that only includes the kernel and initrd and
modify the grub menu, to get the nfsroot via NFS.
Do you meen that I should use -g to supply a menu.lst like the one
make-fai-boot creates, and then use "-m /empty/dir"?
