Baked has to be configured and ready to use as soon as the packages are unpacked. Every stage you want to do for that stage need to be hand-crafted for your system. Baked cannot simply be created and booted. It requires a LOT of specialist knowledge about your specific board. > So far I have used the sample file from "multistrap -h" and built a Please include your actual multistrap configuration file. That one is for a Debian Lenny system for armel. Use the multistrap documentation: http://www.emdebian.org/multistrap/ > rootfs for a ARM board. Then I booted my board with NFS + > init=/bin/sh.

Sounds like just the kind of thing which worried me about making a test Baked repository available in the first place. It is *NOT* suitable for most people, Baked requires a massive amount of detailed knowledge of this one specific board and exactly what configuration you want and nobody can do this for you. > So, what is wrong here? How can I get this up and running? DIY. That is what Baked is all about. The website tries to be very clear on this point. There is NO help available for Baked. "Emdebian Baked is intended for situations where you know, in advance, the precise configuration of the packages and do not want the packages trampling all over the configuration. (Packages that make changes at runtime would be up to you to handle.) Emdebian Baked is an advanced system configuration - it will break lots and lots of assumptions." > I'm on Ubuntu 10.10, so my multistrap version is 2.1.6ubuntu3.
