I tried to reproduce it and failed. Now it works as expected, apart 
from a few messages about not being able to create 
/target/usr/sbin/modules (probably wrong about the exact path) which 
goes away.

You are right. It is dbootstrap. I took its name from the installation 
manual and was not paying attention that it is d rather then de.
