Hi all,

installing the bbsboot-r7247_cd1.iso on a qemu emulated x86 machine worked 
just fine, with one exception. Here are the things I noticed:

- 1st stage does not include a /etc/fstab, so after loading the initrd from CD 
the message
	Can't find /etc/fstab: No such file or directory
is issued. It's not a problem but doesn't look very pretty imho.

- for some reason, gasgui reports that the udev-0.87-0 package on the CD needs 
1 GB of space, although it doesn't really need that much when installed. :S 
Resulting warnings (because my root partition is < 1 GB) could be 
successfully ignored.

- the /boot/initrd.img installed misses libdl.so.2, so booting from it causes 
a kernel panic. Recreating the initrd with 'mkinitrd' (within the chroot 
environment of the installed system) before re-booting helps.

With best regards,
	Stefan Fiedler
