Is it possible to just unpack a tarball of a debian/68k system to that
partiton under FreeMiNT? That is what i tried with m68k-base.tgz .
Sadly it hangs with kernel panic "attempted to kill init", so unpacking
m68k-base.tgz under FreeMiNT with 'tar xfzp m68k-base.tgz' at least
fixed my initial "no init found" kernel panic.

Since FreeMiNT uses ext2 case-sensitive and is aware of symlinks etc
just like linux, this seems the easiest way to work around the LE/BE
trouble...

The mentioned tar unpack command ends on /var/tmp with "exit due to
previous errors". Something may go bogus here...

Greetings,
Stefan
