Hope so!

I've followed you in this.

Not in the short term, anyway. I don't like that libfdisk is breaking the kernel
abstraction boundary though. In the longer term, either the (upstream) kernel
maintainers should be convinced to put this barrier back where it was or libfdisk
should find an alternate source for unaligned memory access functions. Maybe
this should go in 'todo'.

I applied this patch and built it. I assume you've gotten past any MAKEDEV
problems that might come up with a 2.4-based system since debootstrap needs
MAKEDEV too, and you're at the point you need the following patch:

I've also included it as an attachment in case it's too mangled by
my mailer to apply.
I've also done a test that makes me pretty confident keymaps.sh
runs fine under fakeroot, which means it should run headless too.
Can someone with an actual headless machine confirm this?
(Right now I'm waiting for library reduction to finish.)
