The error, from dpkg-deb, was something along the lines of "Can't make
temporary file: invalid filename".

Ok, with "master" installed I'm getting:

  Total extents scheduled to be written = 280038

That's 547MB.
The second disk is 394MB.

(BTW, CDRW is a life-saver for testing these things.)

I'm going to move the image over to an intel machine and test
intelsilo on it.
