-Install (plain) Debian (sarge release) via grml:
-
-Assuming you want to install Debian to sda1:
-
-mkfs.ext3 /dev/sda1 # make an ext3 filesystem on /dev/sda1
-mount -o rw,suid,dev /dev/sda1 /mnt/test # now mount the new partition
-debootstrap sarge /mnt/test ftp://ftp.tugraz.at/mirror/debian # get main packages from a debian-mirror
-chroot /mnt/test /bin/bash # let's chroot into the new system
-mount -t devpts none /dev/pts # ...otherwise running base-config might fail ("Terminated" or "openpty failed")
-mount -t proc none /proc # make sure we also have a mounted /proc
-base-config # now configure some main settings
-vi /etc/mkinitrd/mkinitrd.conf # adjust $ROOT (to /dev/sda1) for your new partition, autodetection will fail in chroot
-cd /dev ; ./MAKEDEV generic # make sure we have all necessary devices for lilo
-apt-get install lilo linux-image-2.6.12-1-386 # install lilo and a kernel which fits your needs
-cp /usr/share/doc/lilo/examples/conf.sample /etc/lilo.conf # let's use a template
-vi /etc/lilo.conf && lilo # adjust the file for your needs and run lilo afterwards
-umount /proc ; umount /dev/pts # we do not need them any more
-exit # now leave chroot
-cp /etc/hosts /etc/fstab /mnt/test/etc/ # you might want to take the existing files...
-cp /etc/network/interfaces /mnt/test/etc/network/ # ...from the running grml system for your new system
-umount /mnt/test && reboot # unmount partition and reboot...

-Avoid all of the above steps - use grml-debootstrap(8) instead!
