What was the error message you got I don't think I can look into this for
another week (need to build bootdisk and an installable target), so any
pointer here (error messages, expected vs. actual behaviour) would be
helpful.

I did build the release 6701 and the bootdisk target is now working better.
I still have one issue:
	During the installation I am creating two partitions on the hdd. One
reiserfs for root and a swap.
	Grub is failing to install with the following errors:
		ls: /dev/fd0: no such file or directory
		/usr/ssbin/stone: line 54: [: -gt: unary operator expected

		root
		(fd0): Filesystem type unknown, partition type 0x0

		setup (hd0)
		Error 12: Invalid device request

		
	After that the postinstall is giving me the following error:
		/usr/sbin/postinstall: line 102: /dev/fd/62: no such file or
directory
		
I think that this errors are relted to udev but I am not sure.
