I like the idea of a new subroutine like ifclass.

I need some help with a useful name of such a function.

For testing if FAI is running from the nfsroot (testing do_init_tasks
-eq 1) what about names like:

- running_fai_init
- running_from_nfsroot
- isnfsroot

Any better name? What do you think is most descriptive?

Any proposal for a name fo a test if fai-diskimage calles fai? (action
= install a not running from nfsroot)
- running_diskimage
- install_and_no_nfsroot
- isdiskimage

I'm really bad at choosing good names for subroutines. Please help me.

Since I will add some test subroutines, we only need stable names for
these subroutines.
