It seems that, since version 2.10, the fai script exits, if no
parameters are given and not run from nfsroot:
# exit if we do not run from nfsroot and no parameter is given
if [ ! -f /.THIS_IS_THE_FAI_NFSROOT -a "X$1" = "X" ]; then
echo "Please give more parameters if not run from the nfsroot."
exit 2
fi
If you touch a file called /.THIS_IS_THE_FAI_NFSROOT in your ramdisk,
the warning should go away.

I tried the ramdisk install you described here
(http://www.mail-archive.com/linux-fai@rrz.uni-koeln.de/msg03279.html)
The server boots from the ramdisk, but then i get the following error message:
Please give more parameters if not run from the nfsroot
FAI: installation aborted
reboot with: faireboot
any hints ?

Betreff: Re: AW: Re: running fai from rescue system
You can boot the rescue system and install new packages. But these
changes will only apply locally as the rescue root partition is a
ramdisk, not mounted over NFS, AFAIK.
As this is a Hetzner-related question, you may want to check the Hetzner
forum at http://wiki.hetzner.de/index.php/Hetzner_Rescue-System for
further infos.

Hi,
but i think it is possible to install additional software via apt-get.
Is there a way to get fai to perform the installation ?

Betreff: Re: running fai from rescue system
Hi Thomas,
I'm also using FAI on a Hetzner server, but I'm installing the machine
standalone, i.e. from a ramdisk. AFAIK the rescue system at Hetzner
cannot be changed, thus it cannot be used for FAI.
Best regards

Hi,
i am trying to utilize FAI for a couple of dedicated servers.
The hoster (www.hetzner.de) already has an PXE & debian based rescue system.
My Question is: Is it possible to utilize this rescue system ? What has to be
installed / what files has to be copied to the rescue system ? How do i start
the automatic installation ?
Thanks,
Thomas
