Henry House very kindly forwarded me a copy of the script. I wouldn't be
surprised if its only used during the install and is deleted after it's
used.
Anyway, for those searching the debian list archives here is a copy of
termwrap that solved my problems during second stage install due to non
findable /sbin/termwrap. Just boot to the point where the error starts to
occur then alt F2 and login as root. Mount a floppy with termwrap on it
and cp to /sbin/ not forgetting to chmod as executable then reboot and
away :).
Here's the script.
