I am using http://www.debian.org/~aph/boot-floppies/19991118/bf-common.tar.gz. untarred them into the common dir. Starting from my potato installtion: [06:50:53 bf]$ cd basetest/common/ [06:53:41 common]$ ls base2_2.tgz boot dev etc home lib proc sbin usr bin cdrom drivers.tgz floppy initrd mnt root tmp var [06:54:09 common]$ su Password: [06:55:00 common]# chroot . rakefet:/# mount rakefet:/# ps Error: /proc must be mounted To mount /proc at boot you need an /etc/fstab line like: /proc /proc proc defaults In the meantime, mount /proc /proc -t proc Segmentation fault Also note there are differences between your output and mine: 1) Your ps output gives a header line. 2) Without /proc my mount simply exit. No message like the one you are getting. 3) I am not getting the processes you get after /proc is mounted. Can it be that I do not simulate an installation session correctly ? And where is ash? [07:04:27 common]$ ls bin/a* bin/ae bin/arch [07:04:58 common]$
