hi,
i've installed a base Ubuntu 12.04 and installed fai-quickstart to create the NFS rootfs. After that, I copied the rootfs via rsync to the Debian server, so that I can be sure, that not the debootstrapping from the Debian side was the problem.
I made a screenshot:

fai fails with:
Executing: yes | mdadm --create /dev/md0 --level=raid1 --force --run --raid-devices=2 /dev/sda1 /dev/sdb1
and the message:
md: coul not open unknown-block(8,1)
md: md_import_device returned -16
...
md0 : active raid1 sdb1[1] sda1[0]
307188 blocks super 1.2 [2/2] [UU]
