make-fai-bootfloppy is not yet tested with FAI 3.2 and the path has changed.
It also does not support kernels with an initrd yet.

It depends on what you want to have on the CD. The command fai-cd
creates a booteble CD with config space, nfsroot and package
repository.
Hi thanks for your answer.
Well,
What I need is to have one fai server with all configurations and
classes and a bootable cdrom which will boot the client, mount nfsroot
and start the installation. My classes will be change several times and
I don't want to burn a cd each time.
Is there a way to do this in previous version or the fai-cd is the only
way know ?

Hi,
edit /etc/fai/menu.lst
.
.
title Fully Automatic Installation - dhcp, nfsroot
kernel /boot/vmlinuz ip=dhcp root=/dev/nfs
nfsroot=192.168.1.2:/srv/fai/nfsroot boot=live
FAI_FLAGS="verbose,sshd,createvt" FAI_ACTION=install
initrd /boot/initrd.img
title Fully Automatic Installation - static, nfsroot
kernel /boot/vmlinuz ip=192.168.1.17:192.168.1.2:192.168.1.1::::
root=/dev/nfs nfsroot=192.168.1.2:/srv/fai/nfsroot boot=live
FAI_FLAGS="verbose,sshd,createvt" FAI_ACTION=install
initrd /boot/initrd.img
.
.
I don have a local mirror so I just create an empty dir.
# mkdir /root/mirror
# fai-cd -f -m /root/mirror cd.iso
Burn a cdrom.

Hi,
I have tried this method but it doesn't work. Maybe I'm doing something
wrong ?
Here is what I did :
My fai server is : 192.168.1.204
I Add in the /etc/fai/menu.lst those lines :
title Fully Automatic Installation - dhcp, nfsroot
kernel /boot/vmlinuz ip=dhcp root=/dev/nfs
nfsroot=192.168.1.204:/srv/fai/nfsroot boot=live
FAI_FLAGS="verbose,sshd,createvt" FAI_ACTION=install
initrd /boot/initrd.img
title Fully Automatic Installation - static, nfsroot
kernel /boot/vmlinuz ip=192.168.1.251:::::
root=/dev/nfs nfsroot=192.168.1.204:/srv/fai/nfsroot boot=live
FAI_FLAGS="verbose,sshd,createvt" FAI_ACTION=install
initrd /boot/initrd.img
I don't use for the moment a local debian mirror, so I create an empty
directory :
/srv/fai/debmirror/
Then I ran this command :
fai-cd -f -m /srv/fai/debmirror/ cd_boot_fai.iso
I burned the iso image on a cdrom and then boot with this cd-rom on the
client machine.
When I boot with this cd-rom on the client computer, I have this message :
IP-Config: eth0 Complete (from 192.168.1.204)
address : 192.168.1.240 broadcast: 192.168.1.255 netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway : 192.168.1.2 dns0: 192.168.1.2 dns1:0.0.0.0
rootserver : 192.168.1.204 rootpath:
filename :
Begin : Running /scripts/nfs-premount ...
Done.
nfsmount : need a path
Done.
Begin: Retrying nfs mount ...
And it restart searching for an ip address and trying to mount nfs root.
When I mount nfs root from my own computer it's ok : mount -t nfs
192.168.1.204:/srv/fai/nfsroot /tmp/toto
ls /tmp/toto :
live
I don't understand what's going on, I also don't understand why there is
nothing after "rootpath" and "filename" ?
Have you got an idea ?
thanks for your help,
Jean-Paul
