yes - i had the same error
when linking '/usr/share/debootstrap/scripts/sid' to 'metad'
installation goes as expected = it seems that 'metad' script has an
error in it

Hi all,

as earlier you may find the initrd as follows;
http://www.otavalaiset.net/stuff/initrd_2.6.37_metad_0.2.gz
at least for me it appears to work - stay waiting your comments
The installation log says:
debootstrap: debconf depends on debconf-i18n | debconf-english; however
debootstrap: Package debconf-i18n is not installed.
debootstrap: Package debconf-english is not installed.
debootstrap: Setting up debconf (1.5.24) ...
debootstrap: /usr/sbin/debootstrap: line 1: repeatn: not found
/mc
PS. i do not know what is relationship between gNewSense and Debian,
but to me it would be obvious that the initrd should be edited so that
it would not say 'Debian' in any step ...
PPS. http://www.otavalaiset.net is homepage of the village i'm living
in - and one may notice it has been made in rather minimalistic way -
wonder...
