Version 1.7.62 never reached the archive. Perhaps this was intended.
I have taken the version in Salsa, was able to boot and run native-install,
and with the modification in the attached patch got to the stage of configuring
packages. During package configuration some packages fail, which I assumed was
related to the state of unstable, or some issue resolving dependencies?
Best regards,
João

+Following this create a grub configuration file:

6) On the first boot, run :
