I have had that problem myself before. AFAIK it's not directly related
to FAI but Ubuntu's installer. At the time I asked around on their IRC
channel and was told to boot into liveboot and delete the partitions
manually using some partition tool (e.g. gparted) and attempt the
install after doing so.

disk_config disk1 disklabel:msdos bootable:1
primary / 90% ext4 rw,relatime,errors=remount-ro
primary - 10% swap sw
After a succesfull installation, when someone wants to install ubuntu
with a usb stick or cd on that pc , they getting an error in their
installer disk config : cannot make ext4 partition.
