Thanks, that was the problem.  (I needed to add both "/sbin" and 
"/usr/sbin".)

But now I get a stranger error:

[...]
using 'core-nova.o' as 'core.o'
/sys/firmware/dmi/tables/smbios_entry_point: Permission denied
/dev/mem: Operation not permitted
     while executing
"exec parted -a none -s [run_dir].header -- rm 3"
[...]

Since "Nobody III" says Debian Stable works, I'll just try that instead.

  Thanks again!
