I think it's not a kernel but, but a bug in busybox's shell. This shell does not
work for debootstrap (the script downloading and installing the base system).
You can circumvent it if you download dash-udeb (another shell without this
bug). I think a patch for this has been comitted, but probably not yet uploaded.
