Debian 3.0 Woody Boot-Floppies Installation

[Giorgio T. <de...@ip...>]

Hi,

i have just finished to install on my Amiga (APUS) the last Debian 
Woody release from scratch. I have used the Boot-Floppies software 
from CVS Repository.

I have used an AMIGA hard-disk partition to begin the installation
and loading the base system. I have used an ADSL connection (PPPOE) 
to download the remaining packages.

I wish to submit a few (three) small patches that i have added.
I attach the patch file which I use to patch the sources from CVS.

1) The first merely changes the kernel version number that APUS
   uses, the Debian package is available.
2) The second adds three lines to the file powerpc.rules:
   these are needed because without the APUSKVER variable is
   not used and the kernel file and the modules when installed
   are named with the KVER variable.
3) The last is in dbootstrap/choose_medium.c file:
   Without being able to read ms-dos formatted Rescue image-file 
   is impossible to extract & install the kernel, the symbol map
   and the config file. By the way i have added also the capability 
   to read Amiga formatted diskettes (I have made some small batches 
   to create Amiga rescue disks from the disk images created by 
   Boot-Floppies.

2 installing  notes:
When i have tried to mount the /boot partition dbootstrap has 
refused to mount it. It shutted down itself restarting the installation
from the beginning. I have mounted /boot by hand using the second
virtual terminal. For the other partitions there was no problem.

I was not able to find a dbootstrap menu voice to start a ppp
configuration but pppoe & pppoeconf was installed in the base system 
so i was able to configure & start a internet connection using the 
2nd virtual terminal.
Could be possible in future to have a ppp menu configuration from
dbootstrap?

Thank you for your attention,
