right, if its feasable to do so, i would like to see it expanded in such
a way, there is no reason to require the user to have to run mknod if
debootstrap can do it itself ... from my understanding the foreign
option always has to be used in the context we do (running the second
stage either on real HW or in a VM ...) so enabling the setup to boot
seems essential to me ... :)
