It looks as if you don't have the as86 command. This is a fairly common problem. The kernel source only suggests the bin86 package (which contains as86) but does not depend on it. This is because only intel users need it. I can't understand how so many people seem to "lose" bin86. It's "standard", therefore it is selected by default during the first pass of dselect when installing a new system. Where/when does it fade away?
