The following Variables do exist in FAI (example values included):

type: int = internal use only; CS used in config space (often defined by *.var)

name type example value created by used by comments
BOOT_IMAGE int vmlinux-install may be unset
BOOT_PARTITION /dev/sda1 setup_harddisks grub/menu.lst/postinst
BROADCAST 192.168.0.127 get-boot-info scripts/FAIBASE/30-interface
COLOR_FAI_LOGO int 1 prcopyleft() Does not work for installation on x86.
DEBIAN_FRONTEND int noninteractive dpkg -i
DNSDOMAIN workgroup.de task_setup() just used because cfengine can't use DOMAIN
DNSSRVS 192.168.1.16 dhclient-perl create_resolv_conf
DNSSRVS_1 192.168.1.16 first element of DNSSRV
DOMAIN workgroup.de task_setup() task_prepareapt()
DO_INIT_TASKS int 1 fai, task_confdir(), prcopyleft() 1 if

doing net installation
