Testing with current CVS boot-floppies on s390 shows that this section
does not work. It causes dbootstrap to hang after calling debootstrap
(maybe because the cat process isn't properly killed?) and all packages
have been set up. The last message is "I: debootstrap: Successfully
completed" from exec_debootstrap() in extract_base.c - the rest is not
executed:
mkfifo $TARGET/dev/initctl
cat <$TARGET/dev/initctl >/dev/null &
CAT_PID=$!
on_exit "kill $CAT_PID >/dev/null 2>&1"
I'd like to disable this section for the boot-floppies, it's not
necessary there:
if [ -n "$USE_BOOTFLOPPIES_INTERACTION" ]; then
mknod -m 600 $TARGET/dev/initctl p
cat <$TARGET/dev/initctl >/dev/null &
CAT_PID=$!
on_exit "kill $CAT_PID >/dev/null 2>&1"
fi
Any objections? Does the old section work on other architectures?
