Try append initrd=fai/lenny/initrd ip=:::::ethx:dhcp root=/dev/nfs nfsroot=/srv/fai/nfsroot-lenny boot=live FAI_FLAGS=verbose,sshd,createvt,reboot FAI_ACTION=install Where ethx is your preferred interface. Make sure that the kernel supports the motherboard NICs.

I started to setup FAI on amd64 but the "normal" Debian version from stable aka etch was too buggy but at least it worked with a lot of adjusting of scripts... Now I started with lenny and FAI-3.2.16 but the client installation stops during boot via PXE/TFTP/DHCP where ipconfig is called. The last line is something with IP-Config followed from two status lines of eth0/tg3. I think the call of ipconfig within the initrd causes the trouble. Is there already a solution for this problem available?
