I just updated live-helper (to 1.0.4+20090502.0851) from
live.debian.net and it looks like the fix has already made it into
that one. I did notice, though, that the line that calls
update-initramfs seems to be missing one 'chroot'. I put one in
(Chroot chroot "update-initramfs -k all -t -u"), re-ran the lh_build
and have just booted my first Debian Live netboot image with a CIFS
mounted root, ever :)


Thanks,
