As the target system install is different fro your NFSroot, you probably need to create a "base" file first, which is then used as the basis for your target system: https://fai-project.org/fai-guide/#_a_id_extrbase_a_extract_base_file Some documentation is here: https://fai-project.org/fai-guide/#_a_id_otherdists_a_installing_other_distributions_using_a_debian_nfsroot I.e. you will probably need to use mk-basefile or maybe a simple debootstrap+tar may also work - I don't really recall how we did it the last time around.
