Ok, so I wasn't off-base. Well, I plunged in head first and actually built the kirkwood netboot images a few minutes ago. Below is how I did it. This is on Ubuntu 10.04 32-bit, should work on other debian distros, ymmv. 1.) Install qemu-arm-static, debootstrap, mr $ sudo apt-get install qemu-kvm-extras-static debootstrap mr 2.) Setup the armel chroot $ mkdir -p ~/armel-chroot/usr/bin $ cp /usr/bin/qemu-arm-static ~/armel-chroot/usr/bin/ $ sudo qemu-debootstrap --arch=armel wheezy ~/armel-chroot/ ## Wait a while for stuff to install 3.) Configure sources and locale in the chroot $ echo "deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian unstable main contrib non-free" | sudo tee ~/armel-chroot/etc/apt/sources.list $ echo "en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8" | sudo tee ~/armel-chroot/etc/locale.gen 4.) Put the debian-installer sources in the chroot $ cd ~/armel-chroot/usr/src $ sudo svn co svn://svn.debian.org/svn/d-i/trunk debian-installer $ cd debian-installer $ sudo scripts/git-setup $ sudo mr -p checkout 5.) chroot into it $ sudo chroot ~/armel-chroot 6.) Install some needed utils into chroot # apt-get update # apt-get install dpkg-checkbuilddeps dpkg-dev locales $EDITOR 7.) Fix the locale # locale-gen 8.) Install the builddeps for debian-installer # cd /usr/src/debian-installer/installer # dpkg-checkbuilddeps # apt-get install $LISTED_ABOVE ## Check ourselves # dpkg-checkbuilddeps 9.) Go build any armel netboot # cd build # make build_kirkwood_netboot Now that I've documented it, I'll go modify d-i for dreamplug, then add my kernel. We'll see what happens. Thanks for all the help!
