Same problem.

I have been trying to follow directions for past couple of days. But i keep running into two problems.

First problem is partitionaing, as another poster has mentioned, the parition does not seem to fall on a cylinder boundry, I have tried to create the partitions twice but same problem, i decided to move on to see how far i can go before it comes back to bite me :)
Second problem I have is as follows:
wolverine:~# debootstrap --arch i386 sid /mnt/flashdrv/
I: Retrieving Packages
I: Validating Packages
I: Resolving dependencies of required packages...
I: Resolving dependencies of base packages...
W: Failure trying to run: chroot /mnt/flashdrv mount -t proc proc /proc

I do not have usbmount installed, i don't have hotplug installed. i attempted to mount the drive manually with -o dev,exec options thinking may be the system is defaulting to it, but i am still receiving same error.

When i try to manually mount the proc inside /mnt/flasdrv I receive the following message

wolverine:~# chroot /mnt/flashdrv/ mount -t proc proc /proc
chroot: cannot run command `mount': No such file or directory

I am trying to install it on a 1GB usb drive. I am running debian unstable on my computer and I just finished running aptitude update/upgrade to make sure my system has the newest packages.

any direction/help would be much appreciated.
