This is OK.

It's caused because rpm tries to create /proc, and fakechroot doesn't
catch the write and redirect it into the chroot.  However failure to
create this directory doesn't actually matter.

febootstrap doesn't support kickstart files.  If you want to add that,
patches are welcomed, and would be an excellent feature.

Not sure what else you're trying to do.
