Well, on powerpc at least, the "configure base" step is getting skipped by default. This leads to lack of /etc/fstab and other evil conditions.
on booting into my new system, I didn't have the right inittab in place; it gave me the "true" inittab instead I have uploaded i386 and powerpc images to http://people.debian.org/~aph/debian/dists/woody/main/disks-{i386,powerpc}/current. Someone please test the i386 images to see if they are installable or not. If someone coudl confirm the powerpc problems as well that would be good. Also, I need some poeple on the debian-boot list to file bugs as appropriate against debootstrap and such... * Other really annoying problems (but not blocking 2.3.5 release) dhcp is failing after the first boot -- is debootstrap grabbing dhcp-client when it installs base? debootstrap is still saying: 'Failure trying to run: dpkg --force-auto-select --force-overwrite --force' the quik booting didn't work on this Wallstreet PowerMac, but that's status quo, not a blocker per se. No, it's not ofpath failing, that returns fine (ofpath /dev/hda => /pci/mac-io/ata0/[EMAIL PROTECTED]:). I can't tell if that's actually used to set boot-device because the system is going into serial console and I don't have one at the moment. Things working now: - install sid works again (it is really identical to woody?) - dhcp worked fine from dbootstrap I'll have to retry 2.3.5 build on Monday because I'm out on a trip until then.
