Booted off floppy, installed net drivers from floppy, rest of retreiving is via

Memory: 128 MB
Root Device: FUJITSU MPD3108AT, ATA DISK drive
Root Size/partition table:i
I don't have the partition table created by the installer handy. But it was something like
6 G linux root
2 G Windows/DOS unused
2.5 swap
The windows/DOS + swap I have since combined into a 4 G play area and 256 M
swap.

Comments/Problems:
Partition hard drives: [E]
An error or warning message was logged while running partitioner partioner''s
postinst exited with status 11
sda : block size assume to be 512 bytes, disk size 1GB
/dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0: I/O error: dev 08:00, sector 0
I/O error: dev 08:00, sector 0
unable to read partition table
I don't have a SCSI drive on the system. Maybe it was confused about the ZIP
drive?
I then ran the autopartitioner. It succeeded, even if it gave me 2.5 G swap.
I later (post installation) reduced the amount of swap.
Install base system: [E]
Installation appeared to fail the first time, or at least after I chose
'Install the base System' then waiting a few minutes I looked back and the
main menu had chosen 'Install the base system again'. I chose that again and
this time saw the following error messages:
Base installation error
debootstrap exited with an error (return value 1)
You might find more information in /target/var/log/debootstrap.log
# cat /target/var/log/debootstrap.log
id: unknown group name: 0
[: 176: 0: unexpected operator
ln: /target/usr/bin/awk: File exists
I ran it again and see that the first two errors appear in the log fairly early
and don't appear to be fatal, the awk error might be the killer, I tried
deleting /target/use/bin/awk and trying the install again.
Now I get a treally nice looking error i:
Setting up dpkg (1.10.10)
Moving /usr/info/dir to /usr/share/info/dir
mv: cannot stat '/usr/info/dir': No such file or directory
dpkg: error processing dpkg (--install)
So I did:
rm /target/use/bin/awk
mkdir /target/usr/info/dir
And tried the base install again.
mv: cannot overwrite non-directory '/usr/share/info/dir' with directory '/usr/info/dir'
So I did:
ls -l /target/usr/share/info/dir
-rw-r--r-- 1 root . . . .
rm /target//usr/share/info/dir
rm /target/use/bin/awk
It failed again with :
mv: cannot overwrite non-directory '/usr/share/info/dir' with directory '/usr/info/dir'
So I did rm -rf /target//usr/share/info/dir* while installing the base system,
and it appeard to work, (the end of debootstrap.log looked ok, it ended with a bunch of start-stop-daemon calls, and then it said 'Hangup'.
In the end I did:
cp /usr/sbin/debootstrap /usr/sbin/debootstrap.real
echo "#!/bin/sh" > /usr/sbin/debootstrap
echo "exit 0" > /usr/sbin/debootstrap
And it succeeded.
After the reboot I had the same problem (complaining about /usr/share/info/dir)
when apt tried to install dpkg.

* Joey Hess
- Test /target/bin/sh and /target/bin/awk and if they exist or are broken
links, warn the user that the target is unclean and install may fail.
At high priority level, cancel the install with an error, suggesting
that the user format or erase the target.
