Will the armel kernel run "oldarm" binaries? (I'm sure I read that it
did somewhere) If so, then switching the nslu2 firmware to the new
kernel, booting the original Debian install, then installing the armel
port in a chroot before switching over to it ought to work. Or am I
missing something?

Ah, well that would be a blocker for ths plan then :)
Perhaps some kind armel soul could generate an nslu2 flash image?
