----> I doubt you can do anything without an armhf kernel. Because what
debootstrap --second stage does is run dpkg on the target arch, to install
the downloaded packages and then apt-get install a minimal OS. And all this
is made by executables meant to be run by an armhf cpu, obviously.
yeah,it works like this with qemu-debootstrap. there isn't any 2 stage. the
os is configured totally on the first stage.
----> Could you remind us why you don't install a ready-made armhf image?
Please elaborate more.
