Yes, and both won't fit onto a 1.4M floppy.
Thats true for the fai kernel as well. I have to use
"make-fai-bootfloppy -B". But by increasing $size further, it should be
possible to make initrd.img* fit, or am I wrong?

Yes, give it a try. It will also put the config space and the nfsroot
into this image.
Having the config space and the nfsroot on the CD is no problem as long
as it isn't used. But if I use this in menu.lst:
... root=/dev/nfs ip=::::::dhcp FAI_ACTION=install FAI_FLAGS=verbose,sshd
together with my current dhcp configuration:
option root-path "/srv/fai/nfsroot,rsize=8192,...";
or maybe use nfsroot as a kernel parameter, the configuration on the CD
should be ignored.
The reason why I want this minimal boot-CD is to be able to change the
configuration without creating a new CD every time.
By the way, why does burniso() in fai-cd use cdrecord? Shouldn't it be
wodim these days?
