By hand. I'm keeping notes in:
/mirror/ftp/pub/debian/arm/image/debian-image-HOWTO.txt
It seems a bit overkill at this stage to use the boot-floppies stuff.
I may investigate it further later on.

I'll have to fix those. Keep sending me any more problems you discover.

Great.

Your guess is as good as mine. We are targetting more than just the
NetWinder, so we'll probably need most of the standard devices (even
floppies). I think the therm stuff needs /dev/temperature. There are
lots of other devices which we'll have to discover via
trial-and-error, I think.
Is Debian going to start using the Unix98 PTY stuff with glibc 2.1?
That needs /dev/ptmx, plus a new mounted 'devpts' filesystem.
