We've been using FAI for quite a while now and we're attempting to step up from FAI v3.1 to v3.2.4. Most everything is working for us except ... the ISO built by fai-cd is not quite organized properly. It is a bootable CD (/boot exists and contains an kernel and grub). The rest of the root filesystem ends up in /live/filesystem.dir/. When booting from the CD we get a long timeout while "waiting for the root filesystem".

I've looked at what fai-cd is doing. It creates the temporary dir $tmp and then constructs $tmp/boot/grub. It then mounts nfsroot/live/filesystem.dir in $tmp/live/filesystem.dir. There are some other steps but ... nothing changes the basic organization that the root filesystem is in $tmp/live/filesystem.dir while boot is in $tmp. The mkisofs call builds the iso from $tmp.

Am I missing something? Please help.
