Hi!
I created a script to install a Debian chroot directly on the Edison without the need to prepare anything on a PC.
The /home partition is usually mounted with nodev and cdebootstrap does not like that so one needs to remount the /home partition:
mount /home/ -o dev,remount
Running the attached bootstrap-debian-edison.sh shell script on the Edision creates a wheezy Debian chroot in /home/root/debian
Afterwards /home can be remounted with nodev again, the chroot will use a bind mount to the original /dev anyway:
mount /home/ -o nodev,remount
The setup-chroot-mounts.sh shell script sets up the mounts for /sys, /proc and /dev in the chroot.
To switch to the chroot use:
chroot /home/root/debian/ /bin/bash
