Thanks for the feedback; remarks inline.

I think the problem is that virtual /dev is a read-only filesystem, but
if you make a real /dev directory; then you can write to it. Could you
run 'mkdir -p /dev' (without the quotes) and then try rerunning
setup-x86_64.exe? I suspect this will work then.
FWIW, I wonder why this entire script isn't handled by base-files.
Package: a2ps
a2ps.sh exit code 2
This is due to a missing papersize(5) file. I'm working on a fix, but a
workaround is to run the following command, then rerun setup-x86_64.exe:
echo letter > /etc/papersize
Package: xinit
xinit.sh exit code 134
This is from a SIGABRT in mkshortcut. Chuck?
