So I ran the following (based one of Jelle de Jong's emails).
# debootstrap --arch powerpc unstable /target
http://buildd.emdebian.org/grip/
and got the same error messsges.
I: Configuring initscrips...
I: Configuring sysvinit...
W: Failure while configuring required packages.
I ran "chroot /target" and "dpkg --configure -a" and got the following.
Setting up grip-config (0.0.4em1) ...
/var/lib/dpkg/info/grip-config.postinst: line 6: apt-key: command not found
dpkg: error processing grip-config (--configure):
subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 127
Setting up gcc-4.3-base (4.3.2-1em1) ...
ln: acessig `/usr/share/doc/gcc-4.3-base/.copyright': No such file or
directory
dpkg: error processing gcc-4.3-base (--configure):
subprocess post-installation script returned error eit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
grip-config
gcc-4.3-base
Within the chroot i used dpkg to install grip-config and apt (along with
all the dependencies). This seem to go without a hitch. dpkg -l gives
a list of packages all with -em1 :) However, trying to install the base
system from the installer still fails because of the signatures. Guess
that's because it is not using the chroot (/target).
I skipped the Install Base System in the installer and seleted Confiugre
Package Manager. It tried to install the base system first, but
pressing escape seemed to skip that . /target/etc/apt/sources.list is
now updated with the emdebian statements. Installer now seems to be
stuck on the screen "Select and install software". Been stuck on
"Please wait ..." for 10 minutes now :(
Think I might have to reboot now as installer is now not responding.

But there is /usr/share/debootstrap/scripts/ directory with contents:
etch etch-m68k gutsy hardy intrepid lenny sid
Copied sid to unstable and it got further :) Now fails because it
can't authenticate :(
debootstrap: Can't check signature: public key not found
Now lost on how to get the emdebian keys into the installer. I don't
have gpg (only gpgv). There is no apt-key or apt-secure. Only
apt-install, apt-setup and apt-setup-verify
How do I get emdebian keys into the installer so that installation can
continue without errors ?

There does not seem to be a /usr/lib/debootstrap/scripts directory
(viewed using VT2) on.
The debootstrap directory exists but not the scripts subdirectory.
I'm looking in / but maybe I should be looking in /target ??? Hmmm,
/target exists but /target/usr does not. Guess the installer hasn't
got that far yet.

I tried some testing today for debian grip.
I booted up my system with a live usb stick system
My preferred test would have been a debian-installer USB stick, boot
into the normal Debian installer and enter the Grip mirror instead of
one of the listed Debian mirrors.
Debian Live isn't ready for Grip at this time.
and set my archives to debian sid and emdebian
deb http://buildd.emdebian.org/grip/ unstable main
deb http://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian/ unstable main
That's a mistake - grip is an entirely self-contained repository and
does not need debian, at least not until after installation when you
might want extra packages not yet available in Grip.
Specifying a debian mirror will cause debootstrap to select packages
that you don't want (like man-db and groff).
I have an old PowerPC (G3) iBook and tried to install grip on it via
the debian-installer (business card iso) but failed.
Steps.
* select "http" (#)
* select "enter information manually".
* specify "buildd.emdebian.org"
* specify "/grip"
* specify "unstable"
# NOTE: specify "http" only showed up on a retry.
My first few attempts failed as I specified "/grip/" and "grip".
It seems picky and you have to specify "/grip" exactly.
* partitioned - using LVM with one group and two volumes (swap &
root).
Failed installing base system - Log from VT4 follows.
<snip>
debootstrap: E: NOSCRIPT
debootstrap: EA: /usr/share/debootstrap/scripts/unstable
debootstrap: EF: No such script: %s
Any ideas where to go from here ???
