Most of the work has been done, by Per Andersson as a GSoC project in 2009. The tricky bit is getting parted to do something with not-real-disks. The patch for that was sent but never got merged upstream( I discovered last week, so we proabbly missed squeeze). It needs a bit of chivvying, and I'd love to see it finished. http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg09935.html http://wiki.debian.org/DebianInstaller/MTD I think you'll find that what you want pretty-much works already. It might need a bit of updating as a year has passed.
