Actually, you could maybe do something like:
* setup an NFS root that boots to the arm b-f's
* point the arm board at that NFS share and boot to it
* do an install to a second NFS share
* point the arm board at the new NFS share and boot to it
That could even work, maybe.
Better solution is probably to make the base.tgz's
(say woody/disks-i386/current/basedebs.tgz and
woody/disks-i386/current/basefile.tgz) available only when we actually
release (and at point releases). That ought to be relatively do-able.
Updating both tarballs should essentially just require a run of
debootstrap on each arch.
