You're trying to do a really hard thing before you've ever done the easy thing. Before you try doing the really hard multi-stage bootstrap I recommend you try using a pre-built root filesystem. I'm sure you get one for the distro of your choice: you only need libraries, headers, and kernel headers. Andrew.
