Hallo
I have done two different trials today: a) first I followed grml-tips sarge, but instead of doing base-config as written down on the CDROM, I switched to use the etch sequence. I have come as far as installing a kernel, but this fails on the creation of the mkinitrd. The /dev/sda3 which is needed is not accepted as a block device.
b) The trial with grml-debootstrap runs very smooth after eliminating all input errors it installed a sarge first with a kernel of sarge, which does not boot, then I changed sources list and it installed 2.6.18-grml in chroot. Now lsmod shows only a module for ipv6 . nothing else. Fine tuning is now required: fstab, modules (installation in chroot needed) and usb devices. When I have the usb HDD available, I can copy back all /etc/* which were once prepared and still do fit.
regards
