It was a typo. It really is [c]debootstrap. It will give you
a basic root filesystem. You need to populate /dev to get
the machine to boot first. Then you can boot the kernel
with an init=/bin/bash. After that I partitioned and mkfs'ed
a disk and finally copied and installed all the .deb files
downloaded by debootstrap on the new disk. The whole
procedure took some time and it's good to have a serious
supply of coffee ready :-)
I have collected some kernels before. Have a look around
with google. "linux origin 200" or "linux ip27" will
certainly give a few good results. If you can't find
anything I can mail you the kernel I'm using.
