Comments/Problems:
After installing the base system, kernel install reports an error,
that the kernel 'kernel-image-2.4.26-1-mckinley-smp' could not be
installed and it says to check /var/log/messages for errors. That's
what I found in the log:
The following NEW packages will be installed:

E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
And of course, the /dev/ida/c0d0p1 is not a block device, it doesn't
even exist. The partition list looks like this:
/dev/ida/disc0/part1 on /target type ext2 (rw)
/dev/ida/disc0/part3 on /target/home type ext2 (rw)
/dev/ida/disc0/part4 on /target/tmp type ext2 (rw)
/dev/ida/disc0/part2 on /target/usr type ext2 (rw)
/dev/ida/disc0/part5 on /target/var type ext2 (rw)
but the /target/etc/fstab shows:
/dev/ida/c0d0p1 / ext2 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1
/dev/ida/c0d0p3 /home ext2 defaults 0 2
/dev/ida/c0d0p4 /tmp ext2 defaults 0 2
/dev/ida/c0d0p2 /usr ext2 defaults 0 2
/dev/ida/c0d0p5 /var ext2 defaults 0 2
/dev/ida/c0d0p6 none swap sw 0 0
How come does the /target/etc/fstab look like this if there's no such
directory /dev/ida not talking about the devices in it?
