Hi all,

I should probably do this over at launchpad, but i'm still unfamiliar with
that whole process.  Beginning to understand though.

I just grabbed the broth source with bzr, successfully built an image and
then decided to try and use the chroot/usr/sbin/make-live-device.sh script
to make a live USB.  Perhaps some of my issues are from not doing it in a
puredyne environment, but I thought it should work.

A number of issues which I would be willing to help fix, if pointed in the
right direction:

1. i did not have parted on my build environment.  the script still did
something, it would probably be good to check for that and stop the script
first.

2. the grub install was a bit weird.  i ended up with a grub.cfg file that
was blank, and even when filling it in with the information in /extra/grub2
I popped up into a grub shell rather than a boot environment.  I ended up
manually installing grub to the first partition.

3. the grub.cfg included is not right.  there's already a bug report on
this.  I had to change the vmlinuz1 and initrd1.img and the set root to
{hd0,1}, i also had to remove the search --no-floppy line... there's
probably a better fix for that.

I am willing to do the work but probably need some hints as to where to
begin.

oh, and boot failed here, at least using qemu:

Begin: Running /scripts/init-bottom ... done.
/etc/default/local: 1: **L**
                                         : not found
init: mountall main process (1864) terminated with status 127
