report of the yesterday night test: I succeeded!
What do I need to say:
- you need ubd on the host too in order to make 'mkfs', 'mount' rootstrap
module working;
- you may provide in /etc/udev/links.conf the record suggested in
http://uml.harlowhill.com/index.php/DevfsUdev, but it is still not
enough;
- you succeed when you use a mounted cdrom as mirror, because 'debian'
rootstrap module still fails [1].
At this point, I was wondering if:
- it is possible and reasonable to ask to Marco D'Itri to provide udb
devices creation for udev on host; I checked there are no mention in the
its(udev) bug list
- it is reasonable that rootstrap provides for their (ubds) creation;
- it is reasonable to add new mirror choises (apart from debootstrap and
cdrom);
I planned to test other thing during the day
