 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.
 Set the mirror to e.g. http://archive.debian.org/debian/ if you don't have
 your own lenny mirror.

 When installing lenny to a new mdraid, grml-debootstrap will use md metadata
 format version 0.90. This limits the device to a maximum size of 2TB, but has
 the advantage of grub-legacy actually being able to boot from it.
