If you don't use a modular kernel, you don't need to tell FAI about it at all as
everything is loaded at startup. Else, create your kernelpackage using make-kpkg
from the kernel-package Debian package and set KERNELPACKAGE in
/etc/fai/make-fai-nfsroot.conf . Then rebuild your nfsroot and things should be
fine!

I'm currently using a non-modular kernel for my SPARC machines, but the other
approach should work fine too.
