well the name of the bug actually describes exactly the problem I had. I
never said that building the nfsroot failed, as it did not for me.
When I was looking for a name, I tried to make it easier for other
"fai-users" to easily find a bug that covers the problem they just
stumbled across. I could of course have named it "divert fails with new
FHS compliant dhcp3" but then who would profit? Well maybe Thomas L.
who maybe, would not have to read the body of the bug in order to fix
it.
People tend to look for bugs named to what they "see", and not what
the solution of their problem may be.

make-fai-nfsroot actually finished successfully, and the problem indeed
occurred at install time. And guess what the message was that I saw? ;-)

That's exactly the point, this was one of the bugs you cannot detect.
Cheers,
