My setup-storage config is below. I copied it from a working FAI setup.
Our current FAI server is debian wheezy with FAI 4.3.1. I'm setting up
an ubuntu vivid server with FAI 4.3.3.
I mentioned in another message that I happen to be blind. But I did
listen to the setup-storage documentation and I didn't hear anything
about creating a partition table. It is somewhat tedious listening to
documentation, as you might imagine, and I may have missed it.
disk_config disk1 bootable:1 align-at:4k
primary / 64G ext3 rw,relatime
logical swap 4G-8G swap rw
logical /home 1%- ext3 rw,relatime

I have some machines that will PXE boot if the hard disk is not

That must be a problem with your disk_config - I'm sometimes using
the same trick... Can you show some detailts to the list?
