Since FAI uses the parted provided by the NFS-root it's probably safe to
ignore this oddity.
@Thomas L: What do you think about changing 'parted' into 'parted >=2.0' in

Uhm. Don't do that. The canonical solution is to mount sda1 directly as a
normal filesystem and manually sync sda1 to sdb1 after a successfull boot.
Everything else is creating a dependency problem between initrd, md and
whatever filesystem you're using. It could be wrangled into a working by
usin
to get a software-raid /boot to work.
But it has 2 distinct advantages:
- if something accidentally deletes / corrupts a file in /boot there's
still a reasonable chance for recovery _during system boot_
- it works with all combinations of fat/gpt/md/lvm/crypt/btrfs
