Comments/Problems:
When installing the kernel-image package, the installer stops because:
/usr/sbin/mkinitrd: constituent device /dev/rd/disc0/part5 does not exist.
and so returns error code 1 and the installer stops.
I tried some things between disk partitioning and installing base system:
'ln -s /dev /target/dev' but then the installer stops because it can't make devices on /target/dev.
'ls -s /dev/rd/disc0 /target/dev/rd/disc0'
'ls -s /dev/rd/disc1 /target/dev/rd/disc1'
Seems to do the trick, but still the installer stops on initrd part5 does not exist.
And now it exists on /dev/rd/ and on /target/dev/rd incl all the normale devices like c0d0p5.
I looks like a problem of devfs in the installer and a normal fs in /target/dev so
the (chroot'ed??) basesystem installer get confused..
