comments/problems
kbd-chooser's postinst exited with status 35584, but after running 'detect hardware and load kernel modules' it worked fine and detected vmware's usb keyboard
configure static network causes a "SCIOADDRT: File exists" error when reconfiguring an eth0 device that was already activated using the same method. Manually bringing down eth0 allowed the device to be activated normally using the "configure static network" module.
cfdisk (both versions) crashed and complained that a slang lib wasn't loaded. Workaround was to use fdisk on a spare consolee
once net-retriever was chosen, subsequent selections of the cdrom-retriever method were ignored until the system was rebooted and the install process restarted
on reboot I did wind up being able to install using cdrom-retriever for the base install and then net-retriever

Ok I'm closing this bug.
Neither the maintainer nor submitter have vmware to confirm it exists.
vmware is not a supported target for kbd-chooser anyway.
I believe it is due to a period when usb-discover was not present on the
d-i images; this has been rectified.
If anyone can reproduce this bug, please feel free to reopen.
Regards,
Alastair McKinstry
