Debian Userland on top of existing Linux build? - dieselnutjob - 01-25-2022

On the wiki ( https://wiki.pine64.org/wiki/Quartz64 ) it mentions installing Debian testing userland.

Is it possible to do this without touching an existing 4.19 based boot partition (so keep the existing working kernel and dtb file)?

How do I actually do it?

I am looking at this https://wiki.debian.org/Arm64Port

downloading arm64 debootstrap onto a debian box, unpacking and sending the files over to the quartz64 and running it there seems to be working.
Lets see if it completes....

I can't get it to work.
After all the downloads it fails to actually extract anything:-

Code:
I: Validating util-linux 2.36.1-8

I: Validating libxxhash0 0.8.0-2

I: Validating liblzma5 5.2.5-2

I: Validating zlib1g 1:1.2.11.dfsg-2

I: Chosen extractor for .deb packages: ar

I: Extracting libacl1...

does the partition have to be empty or something?

RE: Debian Userland on top of existing Linux build? - dieselnutjob - 01-25-2022

OK. with the partition emptied debootstrap unpacks all of the packages.
The problem now is that the kernel boots up but then panics

I have no /sbin/init
that can't help

I booted from sdcard, chrooted to the mmc partition 3 and did apt-get install systemd-sysv
a couple of reboots later I'm here
