No SERVER in my boot.log

Hi list! I have a strange problem. My FAI installation works quite fine; just I cannot make faimond work. I have been digging a bit and I found that faimond variable is set in task_confdir() in subroutines-linux. The code tests if $monserver has been set (where could I set this) and in case it's
