Debian for Háborg Install guide

Format CF card then install debian base system.

fdisk /dev/sdb
mkfs.ext2 /dev/sdb1
mkdir /mnt/cf
mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/cf
debootstrap --arch i386 wheezy /mnt/cf http://ftp.fr.debian.org/debian

Chroot on the target OS

mount -t proc none /mnt/cf/proc
mount -t sysfs none /mnt/cf/sys
mount -o bind /dev /mnt/cf/dev/
LC_ALL=C chroot /mnt/cf /bin/bash
mount devpts /dev/pts -t devpts

Add noatime to every FS in /etc/fstab to reduce CF card wear level.

Disables the internal getty instances in /etc/inittab and replace it by

T0:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty -L ttyS0 115200 vt102
