Comments/Problems: I partitioned the SCSI disk using Partition Magic.
During the installation I chose Manual partitioning and merely gave the
mount points for the two ext3-partitions (/boot and /). During the
"Install base system" I got the following error message:
Debootstrap warning:
Failure trying to run: chroot /target dpkg --force-depends --install
var/cache/apt/archives/base-files_4_i386.dev
var/cache/apt/archives/base-passwd_3.5.11_i386.deb

All this is gibberish to me. Could you please help?
The root of the problem seems to be the in these messages:
cannot create /target/debootstrap/debpaths: read-only file system
tar: couldnt remove old file: read-only file system
It seems that the way you did the partitioning or assigned the mountpoints
was somehow flawed. It is extremely unlikely that there is a problem in the
installer itself.
Did you let partman format the / and /boot filesystems? If not, you really
should.
If you cannot solve the problem yourself with this info, please send the
full syslog for the installation (from /var/log/). Make sure you compress
the file using gzip!

Hello Frans Pop,
Thanks for your advice
This time I cleaned the SCSI disk using Partition Magic. During the
install I chose manual partitioning and instructed partman to partition
in the same way as before. At the end of the partitioning session I
commanded formating of the /boot and / partitions. Nevertheless I got
the same error messages as before.
I stored the bug reports on the web: http://192.168.1.34/
Cheers
Anders
