Package: bootcd-i386
Version: 2.53
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
Hello,
I'm unable to create a bootcd starting from a clean debootstrapped Etch.
The error while booting is:
umount: /devfs: Invalid argument
pivot_root: pivot_root: No such file or directory
/sbin/init: 432: cannot open dev/console: No such file
Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!
I use it regularly on Sarge, also witch backported kernel 2.6.15.
Thanks,
Alex

Hi,
With the following script it is possible to build a bootcd with debootstrap
for etch.
It seemst to be not easy to modify the chgroot built by debootstrap,
so that it can be used for bootcd. Probably there is an easier way to do it.
But this is not the job of bootcd. Instead bootcd tries not to change
anything on your system when using bootcdwrite.

# This script proofs that it is possible to build a bootcd with debootstrap.
# This script will probably only work in the days when it was created, because
# it uses testing and unstable packages, that can change rapidly.
# The author will probably not maintain this script any longer.
# CHROOT will be the directory for the debootstrap debian installation
# CHROOT.debootstrap.tgz will be a backup after running debootstrap
# CHROOT.kernel.tgz will be a backup after installing the kernel
