If you want to use initrd then the best thing is probably to use a chroot of woody on your sid box. It shouldn't need much diskspace and ensures you use the same tools as if you were doing it on a woody box (I do this for my woody box so I don't have to have compilers on a server). dchroot is the package you want. I can't remember how I set up the chroot, but it is documented. HTH Tristan
