As a quick test, I installed the 05mountpoints script from the Grml live-initramfs version 1.177.1-1grml.03 package into my nfsroot and then rebuilt the initrd. The client can now mount the config space properly and the FAI install works as expected. I sure hope this bug will be fixed before squeeze is released (either in aufs or with an updated live-initramfs package). Thanks very much for your help with this problem. Jeff
