Стадию разметки пропускаю по причине различных конфигураций для каждого отдельно взятого сетапа.

• Маунтим рутовый раздел в /mnt

mount -t ext3 /dev/sda1 /mnt

• Проставляемся debootstrap'ом:

debootstrap etch /mnt http://ftp.debian.org/debian/

• маунтим proc и чрутимся:

mount -t proc proc /mnt/proc
chroot /mnt

• заполняем /etc/apt/apt.conf, /etc/apt/sources.list, /etc/resolv.conf, /etc/fstab, /etc/hosts, /etc/hostname, /etc/bash.bashrc:

• Копируем файлы grub:

# cp -a /usr/lib/grub/i386-pc /boot/grub

• Собираем и устанавливаем ядро, предварительно скачав и распаковав его в /usr/src:

# cd /usr/src/linux

# make-kpkg --bzImage kernel_image
# dpkg -i /usr/src/linux-image-x.x.x-blablabla.deb

• Генерируем menu.lst и устанавливаем grub в mbr:

# update-grub
# grub --no-floppy
> root (hd0,0)
> setup (hd0)
> quit
