You may also kill dbootstrap from the second console (as I did) and after
that it works just fine. I believe the subject on irc channel #boot-floppies
was `dbootstrap does not work with new init' or something. So this seems to
be a known problem. :)
It looks like the problem lies (sp??) in the way init redirects stdin/stdout
or something. At least, I saw that on irc...
