The hard way (requires serial connection to EDMini and linux machine, does not require SATA)

Kernel

There are two Debian architectures, which are able to run on ED Mini v2. Old arm and new and better armel. The problem is that original ED Mini kernel supports only the arm (confirmation required, if you tested it, please mail me). So if you plan to use the original kernel, install arm architecture
 

The procedure

  1. Prepare root (Debian based distribution not required, just install debootstrap. I did it from archlinux)
Changed:
<
<		 $ debootstrap --arch arm --foreign lenny rootfs
>
>		 $ debootstrap --arch armel --foreign lenny rootfs
  $ (cd rootfs; tar -cvzf ../rootfs.tgz *)make rootfs.tgz available over http
  1. Connect serial terminal and boot into /bin/sh
         > setenv bootargs console=ttyS0,115200 root=/dev/sda6 ro init=/bin/sh; boot
