Then you probably want to play with debootstrap (or one of the many wrapper tools around that, or alternatives to it like multistrap or mmdebstrap), add compare the result of that with a debian-installer installation to understand what you are missing (e.g. a boot loader and various tweaks to files below /etc). It sounds like perhaps you would be interested in joining the Tinker team: https://wiki.debian.org/DebianTinker So far the "team" consist of only me, working on a set of routines to replicate what debian-installer does, without debian-installer: https://salsa.debian.org/tinker-team/box/ I have worked on that for ~9 years now. targeting a few ARM boxes and an ARM-based laptop, but intend to extend to cover also amd64 and i386 devices, just haven't taken the time for that yet. Please consider joining the tinker-team mailinglist (listed at the wiki page referenced above) and let's discuss further there. ...or if you just want working code, then buy one of the supported Olimex devices and grab working images at https://box.redpill.dk/ :-) - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private
