Comments/Problems:
The system appears to have a problem with busybox during the install stage that causes the kernel to panic.
I was able to install the system by avoiding the buysbox call and manually running the commands from init by hand.
[NOTE: this is the same image that successfully installed on my C200].
Here are the steps I did to get Etch installed:
1. Added BOOT_DEBUG=3 to the kernel command line.
2. exit from the just "booted shell"
3. At the "before init shell"
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/sbin
/sbin/debian-installer-startup
/sbin/debian-installer
4. Run through the normal installer.
5. After the reboot, /etc/inittab was wrong.
so boot with init=/bin/sh
mount -o remount,rw /
change /dev/initrd/dev/console -> /dev/console in /etc/inittab.
mount -o remount,ro /
reboot
6. run through the normal post-reboot (base-config) installation.
7. After the reboot, /etc/inittab was wrong.
so boot with init=/bin/sh
mount -o remount,rw /
vi /etc/inittab
change: #T0:23:respawn:/sbin/getty -L ttyS0 9600 vt100
to: T0:23:respawn:/sbin/getty -L ttyB0 9600 vt100
mount -o remount,ro /
reboot
Thanks,

We are closing this installation report for one of the following
reasons:
- it was reported with a pre-lenny version of Debian
Installer.
- indications in the installation report give the feeling that
the reported problem waslying in another software, unrelated to
D-I, which we can't easily identify.
- indications in the installation report suggest that it may have been
fixed in a more recent version of a D-I component
- it was successful and we forgot closing it..:-)
- it has no information we consider useful
The D-I team is currently in the process of cleaning out the old spool
of installation reports that haven't bene processed yet.
In case you think that the problem you reported has chances to be
still present, please reiterate your installation test with
a more recent image of D-I, if you're in position of doing this.
You'll find daily builds at
http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer. We recommend you choose
the netboot image, in the "daily builds section", then choose to
install "squeeze" when prompted.
If some problems are found, please report them with a new bug sent
against installation-reports.
Many thanks for your understanding and your help improving Debian,
past and present.
