It looks to me as if you skipped one step from that list. The command
sb-conf st mistral-armel -c cs2005q3.2-glibc-arm \
-d debian-sarge:maemo3-tools:cputransp:doctools:perl:maemo3-debian \
-t qemu-arm-0.8.2-sb2
creates the mistral-armel target, and the next command
sb-conf rs mistral-armel /scratchbox/packages/mistral-armel-rootstrap.tgz
unpacks the rootstrap inside it. Then the last command
sb-conf in mistral-armel -c -e -d -F
does some extra configuration steps, but I've forgotten what those are
(symlinking libc headers and tools like fakeroot into the appropriate
places inside your target, IIRC).

Sort of like a chroot. A directory that contains all the tools needed
for building packages for a particular Maemo version and CPU
architecture.

Yes.

Nah, forget debconf. You've got scratchbox installed -- check.
You've got a scratchbox user -- check. Now you need to set up the
targets for cross-compilation. If you screw up in a target, you can
always nuke it with
rm -r /scratchbox/users/$username/targets/$targetname*
and start fresh with the sb-conf st/rs/in trio (or, to use longer
command name aliases, sb-conf setup/rootstrap/install).

Oh, yes. "Some assembly required" indeed.

Certainly! http://scratchbox.org/documentation/

Yes. If you don't want to do that, edit /etc/sysctl.conf and
add
vm.vdso_enabled = 0
vm.mmap_min_addr = 4096
in there, then those commands will be automatically executed on every
reboot.
