Ok, from the docs it would seem that 'dbootstrap' is what I am looking for. I did not see any 'deb' package by this name. Does anyone know what 'deb' package this is under?
I do not know what a Cobalt RaQ is and not completely understand thedifficulties you are facing. Yet according to http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/i386/ch-install-methods.en.html, after boot one can use NFS for the installation. There fore, you might want to start from that doc.
Thanks,
