Set the mirror to e.g. http://archive.debian.org/debian/ if you don't have
your own lenny mirror.
+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:
+
+ [...]
+ /var/lib/dpkg/tmp.ci/preinst: line 265: [: 3.16-1-grml-amd64: integery expression expected
+ /var/lib/dpkg/tmp.ci/preinst: line 231: 3.16-1-grml-amd64: syntax error: invalid arithemtic operator (error token is ".16-1-grml-amd64")
+ dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/libc6_2.7-18lenny7_amd64.deb (--install):
+ [....]
+
+To workaround this either debootstrap from a system with an according
+kernel version or use the "fake uname" workaround (just google for it).
+
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.
