I think two years ago that still worked if you upgraded packages in a very
specific order. Today it is best if you keep your etch system, boot into it
and unpack a tarball into a new partition. See:
https://wiki.debian.org/M68k/Installing#pre-made_filesystems

Get m68k-base.tgz or m68k-base.e2fs (which can be loop mounted) and then
boot into the new partition where you unpacked this. This you can upgrade to
the latest packages, so that you can create initrds.

If I understand Thorsten correctly, that does not work since we need a mix
of packages from unstable and debian-ports.

I found a CD drive for the Falcon which can read a CD-R. Unfortunately it
gave me a lot of kernel messages when I tried to copy it to the harddisk. It
would be so much easier if the CF-IDE adapter would work, but I have some
more hardware to try...
