+
+ Partition where EFI boot manager should be installed to. If the

Install default Debian release (jessie) on /dev/sda3 and install bootmanager

================================================================================
[1] Please notice that lenny is an unsupported release within Debian nowadays.
grml-debootstrap can handle the release but you really should not use lenny
-anymore unless you really know what you are doing. Choose Debian 7.0 (wheezy) or
+anymore unless you really know what you are doing. Choose Debian 8.0 (jessie) or
something newer instead.
Notice that you need to specify a mirror providing the lenny release, the
-default (http://http.debian.net/debian) doesn't provide it any longer nowadays.
+default (http://httpredir.debian.org/debian) doesn't provide it any longer nowadays.
Set the mirror to e.g. http://archive.debian.org/debian/ if you don't have
your own lenny mirror.
+You also need to specify a filesystem that's supported by lenny, e.g.
+'--filesystem ext3' since grml-debootstrap's current default (ext4) isn't
+supported by lenny.
+
Also when debootstrapping lenny on a live system with a kernel version
like "3.16-1-grml-amd64" lenny's libc will fail to install with:
