Two questions:
Will softupdate work if a use fai-client 3.2 against a 3.1.8 server?
What happens to the small boot cd (make-fai-bootfloppy -B -i ...). Is
that option still available now that fai uses initramfs?
(I use that method for older PXE bios versions that don't honour
next-server.)

RAID and LVM hook[1] to FAI install a bunch of new hosts with root on
LVM, using FAI as shipped with Debian Etch.

following steps to work with the Root on

With softupdates you don't use a server - except one to hold the configuration

But make-fai-bootfloppy uses $NFSROOT/boot/vnlinu?-*. If that is a

Yes, and both won't fit onto a 1.4M floppy.

Not needed, but conveniant since make-fai-bootfloppy doesn't add
the nfsroot parameter by default.
By the way, why does burniso() in fai-cd use cdrecord? Shouldn't it be
wodim these days?
