I am trying to install debian using grml-debootstrap but I get an error about it not finding MAKEDEV. I retried but adding the makedev package to /etc/debootstrap/packages but it still fails with the error. Infact it seems like the packages in /etc/debootstrap/packages are not being installed (eg. what is left in the mount point doesn't contain zsh either or commands related to other packages I try and add).
This is just using the standard grml 2009.10 CD.
It has just occurred to me, I never do anything to update packages on the CD first, was there a problem with the grml-debootstrap on the 2009.10 CD?
Please post the complete and exact error message and the commandline / config you are using.
I assume this is an error in an *official* Debian package.
