The problem is essentially that we have a "configured" fstab in an otherwise unconfigured chroot. One, IMO fairly logical, solution to this could be to not let partman create /etc/fstab *in* /target, but instead create it somewhere in the the D-I environment and then let a base-installer.d script copy it over to /target. This would also be more in line with how other components do things. debootstrap handles a missing fstab correctly by creating a dummy file, which explains why there was no segfault when I ran base-installer after doing a 'rm -r /target/*'. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
