how to make a *working* base filesystem?
I want to install Debian on Freecom FSG-3 router (it's arm-based).
I compiled the kernel, flashed it and it boots, so far fine.
The trouble is with the base filesystem.
I created sarge filesystem (for arm) with debootstrap on a x86 machine.
However, I can't login via a serial console when I boot it - when I try
to login, it says "permission denied" right after I type any user name
and press Enter.
A quick investigation showed that I don't have passwd/group/shadow files.
So I copied them from a working system, but still, the system doesn't
let me in and says "permission denied".
How can I create a working base filesystem (I need to login, then I can
fix everything myself)?
