I believe we should generate this list every time debootstrap is
executed.

maybe you can tell us, what is needed to support oldworld machines
instead of writing such

1) Oldworlds need proprietary code to boot CDs, and normally need to

No simon is right on this one. Thie issue is that devfs has no support for
old world macs. We all know devfs is crap too. My solution would be to
remove devfs from the entire installer and try another system maybe using
MAKEDEV.

Ok I think I see the overall picture now. Basically 2.2 and the old bf24 are
the only kernels small enough to fit on a floppy. Booting from cds is not
an option because that requires a proprietary bootloader. Are the following
situations possible. Boot from floppy - Quik - use quik to start up
Hello,

Ok thanks. That was useful. With no possible way of kickstarting a cd can
be a bad thing. What about an ultra stripped kernel for 2.4 or 2.6 that
fits on a boot floppy. Then having it search for other boot disks and then
we can have the modules loaded how debian-installer currently has it so
Consider this:
a. user runs autopartkit
b. user loads kernel module that makes a new drive visible
c. user runs autopartkit
We really still want it to ask again in this situation.
It might be ok to never set seen if you register a new question for each
individual drive that is partitioned, and
Joey and I had a discussion on IRC today, and we agreed on what we think is a
relatively sane way to handle the fset seen issues:
No package should fset seen=false unless it has a very good reason -- that
is, it has to show some critical error message or such. However, there are
also situations

Well my intentions were to tell the bootloader to wait until it has all of
it into memory. However this may cause a requirement of 8mb
If the bootloader can't support putting it all into memory first, then Ill
hack into it till it does. But this seemed like a working solution. The
