You can create a PXE config template file by hand, and then use
fai-chboot -vc to copy this template to a certain host configuration.

Do not use B, because in nfsroot.conf the variable NFSROOT is used for
creating the nfsroot. It's not the same as nfsroot= in the
pxelinux.cfg files.
You should also use root= instead of nfsroot= in the pxelinux.cfg
files when using dracut, which is default for FAI 4.
