I also tried to install DSL 0.63 to  a flash memory stick using dsl-hdinstall.
The script seem to work fine when selecting /dev/sda1 as my destination.
However when booting the memory stick the kernel panics after some time - I see that the kernel is trying to spin up a drive, which is kinda bad, since there is not hard-drive. Then it panics. Any clues?
