I see that this workaround is included into install.sh already.
However, I'm afraid this is not the whole story:

$ md5sum install.sh
adc4550c4bf912533ea2b3e53c47fbec  install.sh

stages "testing time partition format mount" finish
successfully.

stage debian fails immediately with the error below:

installing perl? On the OM2009.04?
Other options?
Has someone else installed sucessfully?


FWIW:
I'm using Angstrom openmoko -20090427 from flash with this kernel:
Linux om-gta02 2.6.29-rc2 #1 PREEMPT Thu May 21 17:06:24 CEST 2009 armv4tl 
unknown
I have not installed anything else onto the OM2009.04 side, since I don't use 
that.

Cheers,
Erich
