I'm trying to install Etch on a Dual Opteron 265 using the Tyan K8SRE

Which one?? with the Nvidia chipset? What part number Tyan SXXXX?
When I get to the stage of installing the base system it downloads all
the packages then comes up with the error "Debootstrap warning -
Installer error: Failure trying to run: chroot /target mount -t proc
proc /proc" and won't proceed any further.
If I Alt-F4 it says:
debootstrap: chroot:
debootstrap: cannot execute mount
debootstrap: : No such file or directory
I found this problem - /target/proc never got created.
so just before that step I did Alt-F2 and
#chroot /target
#mkdir /proc
as soon as the commands became available.
Sadly, once this is fixed I couldn't get the kernel installed in a bootable
condition.
I've tried the daily, weekly, and r2 etch installer :-(
