I made some private modifications to dbootstrap, adding a 'manual' option
to the 'select partition' menus for "Initialize a Linux Partition" and
"Mount a Previously-Initialized Partition". These allow the user to
type in the path to the block device to be initialised/mounted when the
device is not known by dbootstrap, as in the case of LVM logical volumes
and MD devices.
I was going to abandon them (because I didn't think they would be
accepted into the Woody boot-floppies), but will share them if anyone
is interested.

Did you get my earlier email?
