You do not install any kernel package inside the nfsroot. I guess it's
because of the ubuntu version of FAI on your host system.
The main problem may be inside /etc/fai/NFSROOT or in fai-make-nfsroot

That's ok. The nfsroot must be a Debian one. I do not know if a Ubuntu
nfsroot is currently working. Use a Debian nfsroot.

I have a minimal FAI server up to the point where it will install stretch
on a client system. I now need to be able to install other distributions.

Now, I am working on standing up a second server at a second site. The

It seems that your nfsroot is read-only. The
I am having several problems that I could use some help with.
First, I don't seem to be able to configure serial consoles on the physical
systems I am building. I am building Xenial systems from a stretch nfsroot.
I have a very small script that tries to update grub, but it keeps failing.
