Thank you for your fast reply.
The problem you mention there seems like problem on installing grub,
while in my case I can't go so far, deboostrap (at least I suppose)
fails after trying to setup the kernel, I can't reach the grub
installation phase.

I've reverted to using 3.0r2 installer right now (must install the
server this evening), but I'll try again on an equivalent hw if the
problem get corrected.

Thanks,
Alex
