Have a look at the subroutine add_base_packages() in fai-mirror. I
think you can add package by using slightly different options. Keep an
eye on $aptoption.

I'm happy to announce FAI 5.2, the newest version of the Fully
Automatic Installation tool set, which now supports creating disk
images for virtual machines. You can create a customized virtual
machine image in less than a minute[1], which is then run in your
virtualization environment like KVM, VM

You must use the initrd from inside the nfsroot, not from a normal
running system. That's very important.

Then check your log file if the grub was installed correctly. Have a
special look at shell.log which has the output of the grub
configuration script.

FAI 5.3 is now available. Here are some news:

You can now use both -N and -c for fai and fai-diskimage, which wa

-c needs class/01-classes. -c just sets $cmdlineclasses. It's not used
