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.
