I started playing around a little bit with the new debian-installer
under bochs.
When I try to start "3. Execute a shell" and pressing enter to get
behind the cdebconf-notice I get a
"postinst exited with status 65280".
It works well when calling
tmp/tree/var/lib/dpkg/info/di-utils-shell.postinst
so I first suspected some problem with library reduction, but
running "make demo" seem to work, too.
It might be some bug in bochs, but using the old boot-floppies
the installing seemed to work quite well. (Though I could not bear
seeing the virtual framebuffer of a simulated machine moving
slowly in an x-window tunneled over ssh much longer than creating
paritions and filesystems)
Another difference between chroot and running in bochs are a number
of "kmod: failed to exec /sbin/modprobe -s -k net-pf-1, errno=2"
lines before and after the "init started: BusyBox..."

BTW, as my university lost internet-connecting while I was experimenting
I modified build/Makefile to add a option for not calling apt and only
taking things out of localudebs:
