Hm, yes, that's right. Should we remove the entries completely, leave
them for USB sticks as an example or comment them?  Usually as soon
as the faiserver is available in the network, PXE installation should
be the way to choose anyway.

I agree.  Let's for now exit the script (I think you mean
/etc/rc.local) with a message how to run it.  As you say, we should 
move it to a cron job run at boot in the background if the nfsroot is
not available yet.

Yeah, that's a left-over from fai-quickstart.  Let's remove the package.
