As we don't have installation disks yet, you will need to install a minimal
linux, or at least boot a miniLinux to make the partitions and get the
installation packages from ftp or somehow.
I recommmend to install Debian GNU/Linux in a very small partition, which
can be your sqwap partition later. You only need a very minimal base
system. If you install with cross-install, beside the minimal base system,
you also need patch and shareutils (maybe something else I forgot).
Thanks,
