Some things about Debian-3.0r0.ext2:
First, the /etc/fstab tries to mount /dev/ubd/0, but the correct name is
/dev/ubd0.
It may or may not have something to do with devfs. In either case, it needs
to be corrected for the image to work right.
Second, why ext2 instead of ext3 ? It's just a matter of tune2fs -j and
changing ext2 to ext3
in the /etc/fstab. All reasonably new kernels grok ext3, and those that don't
can
still mount it as ext2. It seems to me that it's not the only image affected.
The third thing is, /etc/inittab is weird.
The funny part is:
0:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 ttys/0
1:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 ttys/1
2:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 ttys/2
c:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 serial/0
#0:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty0
#2:23:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty2
#3:23:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty3
#4:23:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty4
#5:23:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty5
#6:23:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty6
But it simply doesn't work. All I get is:
INIT: Id "0" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes
INIT: Id "1" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes
INIT: Id "2" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes
INIT: Id "c" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes
INIT: no more processes left in this runlevel
That is, the gettys die immediately.
Running getty 38400 ttys/0 etc. by hand confirms it.
On the other hand, getty 38400 tty0 etc. work fine, and I can even get
xterm login screens if I chance the ttys/N to ttyN in /etc/inittab
and pass con{0,1,2}=xterm as a command line argument.
So unless I'm not getting it (I have no idea what are those ttys/N, ttyN seem
to be text vts on normal kernel), I suggest changing those lines to:
0:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty0
1:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty1
2:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty2
