I see something that looks like the filesystem I am expecting. I did not
exlore it much as it is 20GB of cruft and the only tool I had was the
shell runnig as init.
If I mounted it as HFS I would get about three files, one named
"Where are all my files gone ?" or something like that :)

Of course not. But something on my system is broken, preventing the init
to work properly with 2.4 Debian kernels.
