832 umount $NFSROOT/proc
833 Recursively copies contents of /etc/fai/ directory (good if using CVS)
834 Install $NFSROOT_PACKAGES in a second pass, to sidestep conflicts

850 do_scriptss calls every script class/<classname>/S[0-9]* when class is
851 not a file, execute all S[0-9]* scripts in a directory
852 /fai/scripts/$class/, skip all comment lines when definig classes
853 task_partition() call setup_harddisks only if no disk_var.sh exists
854 defclass also sources all scripts class/S*.source
