Due to lack of time currently, I wasn't really able to support any
configuration at the moment :-(

I have reports from people running Debian successfully on the following
platforms though:

	SL-5500 w/ original Sharp ROM
	SL-5500 w/ Crow ROM (original or modified)
	SL-5500 w/ OZ
	SL-C700/750/760 w/ original ROM
	SL-C7x0 w/ OZ (uncertain)

Also, I'm running a native Debian (using pivot_root and not chroot),
dual-bootable with Qtopia, on my SL-5000D and SL-C750.

For some reason the pseudo ttys aren't being created properly inside the
chroot - if you create them manually, you should be fine:

	cd /dev
	for i in 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
	do
		mknod ttyp$i c 3 $i
		mknod ptyp$i c 2 $i
	done

You should be able to run the current version. If you have trouble
getting it working, feel free to mail me or the list.
