debian on routerstation pro

[Jozsi Vadkan <jozsi.avadkan@gmail.com>]

on a lenny/amd64bit pc, i give out the:

# debootstrap lenny --arch=mips something/
I: Retrieving Release
E: unknown location something/dists/lenny/Release
# 

command. "something" is a mounted partition of an usb drive.

why can't i create a debian to the usb pendrive, with mips arch? i can
create one, when not using "--arch=mips", but then it will make an amd64
debian..

Is it a bug, or feature?

I just want to boot a Debian from an usb stick on a routerstation pro:

Thank you.
