Yes, it works fine, just dbootstrap don't recognizes it as a partition where
you have stuff on it. In my case i have a mirror of debian/potato/ppc on my
syjet (sort of, since the cartrdige is only 1.4MB), when i mount it, it is on
the /dev/sdb partition (second scsi disk), but when i am asked partitions to
mount by dbootstrap (for installing or choosing partition that contains the
install stuff) only the partitions of /dev/sda get shown, and not /dev/sdb.
So i have to mount it by hand, and do a install of the base system from a
mounted volume. Not so tragic, but still it could be properly solved.
