Will this work on a G1 DEV phone?

I'm using a G1 DEV so I have root :

1. Installed busybox (PATH isn't sticking so exported it each time I start terminal)

2. Installed debian (had to use sh installer.sh to make it install).

3. just bootdeb doesn't work, have to use sh bootdeb

4. sh bootdeb gives :

# sh bootdeb
sh bootdeb

What am I missing?

before you run bootdeb, run 'modprobe ext2'

this fixed the problem for me!

I fixed this problem by 1. find ext2.ko and put it in your sdcards root directory, 2. modify the bootdeb script in /data/local/bin to read
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
export kit=/sdcard/debian
export mnt=/data/local/mnt
export PATH=/usr/games:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/bin:$PATH
export TERM=linux
export HOME=/root
busybox insmod /sdcard/ext2.ko
mknod /dev/loop2 b 7 0
mount -o loop,noatime $kit/debian.img $mnt
mount -t devpts devpts $mnt/dev/pts
mount -t proc proc $mnt/proc
mount -t sysfs sysfs $mnt/sys
sysctl -w net.ipv4.ip_forward=1
chroot $mnt /bin/bash
busybox umount -f /data/local/mnt/dev/pts /data/local/mnt/proc /data/local/mnt/sys /data/local/mnt
busybox losetup -d /dev/block/loop2

chmod it 4777, and run it, worked for me

Success! Thanks for all the info throughout this thread..

I too had to do a few things different:
>During the busybox setup I had to use './busybox --install' instead of './busybox --install.'. not sure if I was supposed to or not but it seems removing the period worked?
>had to use 'sh bootdeb' instead of just 'bootdeb'
>also had to do 'modeprobe ext2' because I too was getting sent back to the android console after 'sh bootdeb'

All in all, pretty simple! Great Job.

Got it working perfectly. One thing is a bit of a bother, though-- I have to always sh bootdeb to launch it.
Is there any way I can just type bootdeb to launch it instead? Maybe I did something wrong?

Dude are you serious? I'm typing:
su
su /sdcard/debian/bootdeb
every time. I'd be happy if sh bootdeb did something.
