Basically, answers "cooker", "/cooker", and "/cooker/" should work. I have
tested on a vfat partition (up until DiskDrake ate my windows partition a
couple of days ago) and it seemed to work properly..

I test the existence of "Mandrake/mdkinst" relatively to the location you
point. Are you sure that "partition:/cooker/Mandrake/mdkinst" exists?
Basically if the message is not "Directory could not be found on
partition", it's very likely that "Mandrake/mdkinst" does not exist.
It successfully accessed the specified directory.
[If you can try a network boot (you need grub-compiled-with-your-netcard,
a dhcp server and a tftp server) you can try out my initrd with sash in
order to visit the appropriate directories]
