I forgot a few things. Since this is a generic nfsroot, you have to adjust some files in there.
Add a entry to /srv/fai/fnsroot/etc/hosts for your install server, so the clients can use the hostname instead of the IP for accessing it. Also put your resolv.conf into the nfsroot: cp /etc/resolv.conf /srv/fai/nfsroot/etc/ Set the password of the root account iside the nfsroot: chroot /srv/fai/nfsroot usermod -p "$FAI_ROOTPW" root The variable FAI_ROOTPW is normally defined in /etc/fai/nfsroot.conf See https://github.com/faiproject/fai/blob/master/conf/nfsroot.conf This hash will set the password to "fai". -- regards Thomas
