we simply use this within our wrapper script:

$START_WITH -c "/usr/sbin/fai-chboot -$CHBOOT_OPTS -k'console=$TTY 
nomodeset modprobe.blacklist=$MODPROBE_BLACKLIST' -f $FAI_OPTS 
-s$KERNEL_VERS -u nfs://$FAI_SERVER_IP/srv/fai/config $TARGET_IP"

and those entries do make it into the pxe file:

[...]
append initrd=initrd.img-4.19.0-10-amd64 ip=dhcp 
root=10.20.40.9:/srv/fai/nfsroot:vers=3 rootovl console=tty0 nomodeset 
modprobe.blacklist=mei,mei_me,qla1280,qla2xxx,qla4xxx 
FAI_FLAGS=verbose,sshd,createvt,initial,reboot 
FAI_CONFIG_SRC=nfs://10.20.40.9/srv/fai/config FAI_ACTION=install
[...]

Thus, it ought to be straight-forward

Cheers

Carsten
