I think that if you have a debian box handy, there's a far more simple way
to create a root tree ready to export via NFS:

# debootstrap --arch=hppa <release> <export_folder> <debian_mirror>

the --arch switch is only necessary when preparing a root for another arch
than the native one.

for me it was:

# debootstrap --arch=hppa woody foo_root/ http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian
