Actually, from the subject line this looks like a potato problem,
potato didn't use debootstrap. Can you please try the woody install
disks? We aren't doing any new development on potato.
If you want to debug the potato install, then get a shell (alt-f2, or
shoose the menu option) and take a look in /target. Is there anything
there? The code in question is:
if (! NAME_ISREG( "/target/etc/debian_version", &statbuf) ||
! NAME_ISREG( "/target/sbin/init", &statbuf) ) {
problemBox(_("You have to install base for configuring
it"),_("Base not installed"));
return 1;
}
You will need /target/sbin/init, or not much will work once you reboot.
