The installer still fails [1], so I'm giving debootstrap another try.
There's several divergences between the instructions and the actual
situation.

Notably the instructions show one kernel, but apt-cache in the chroot
being built shows kernel images with *-malta, *-cobalt, *-bmc91250a, or
*-bmc-91480b to choose from.  The working system I am installing from
uses *-libre1.  How do I get the right kernel for the Yeeloong?
