Sorry, the instructions I gave only work for people running unstable
right now. In the past, the nslu2-utils package would write the root
partition as a config variable to ramdisk, but since recently this is
done by flash-kernel instead. (Currently in unstable, soon also in
testing.)
So you have to edit /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/nslu2
for now and put
echo "root: -$rootdev-" >&2
at the end.

Did you put it there? Because by default the nslu2 script doesn't
print anyway.

Right, the idea is to print - then the root device and then - again.
So if it prints --, then the root device is not set. However, I doubt
this is really the case - the script would print a big warning in that
case.

This looks just fine.

These are harmless. They are added because the disk is a USB disk
(i.e. an external and not a built-in disk), so the installer adds some
entries that makes it easy to mount external devices. But they are
not mounted by default, so you can simply ignore them.
