First note: I prefer every output to be wrapped at 72 columns, to be
visible without any newline on a default 80x25 terminal.  Again, this is
my preference, not a dogma.

This is not possible if /boot is on vfat

Thus, if we really want to support /boot on vfat (if it was not clear, I
do not), we need something similar (but not the same) to the
cdebootstrap installation.  Would you mind implementing it?  The idea is
simple: the kernel stage is wrapped into a big if/else statement:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
if [ "$SD_PART1_FS" = "vfat" ]; then
        # download (but not install) the Debian kernel with apt-get,
        # then extract it into the correct place
        # please use only Debian tools, i.e. apt-get and dpkg
else
        chroot $INST_DIR /bin/sh -e <<__END_CHROOT__
apt-get --yes install linux-image-2.6.28-openmoko-gta02
apt-get clean
__END_CHROOT__
fi
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Thx, bye,
Gismo / Luca
