This may actually be a boot-floppies or debconf problem, if so, feel
free to reassign it.
Basically, what can I say ... it does not work at all. Once I comment
out the lines in the initial /etc/inittab, it tries to start
base-config, but I get a lot of:
sh: /dev/tty1: No such device
Then, if I change the /dev/tty1 redirections to /dev/console, or just
remove them altogether, I get:
sh: /dev/tty: device not configured
/var/lib/dpkg/info/base-config.config: /tmp/keybd_settings:: No such file or directory
Slink worked perfectly on a serial console (and, as an aside,
dbootstrap's screen redraw was much faster) :(

We believe that the bug you reported has been fixed in the potato
boot-floppies, version 2.2.9 or higher.
Thank you for your bug report.
We encourage you to test the potato boot-floppies on your system. If
your problem persists, please either respond to debian-boot and CC
your original bug and we will reopen the bug, or else submit a new bug
against the boot-floppies package.
Many problems are cause by other packages from Potato, such as
makedev, modconf, etc. Bugs against those should be filed against
those packages.
