Comments/Problems: Installation went well until 86% of the base system
install. There it stopped after the pcmcai package of a wrong kernel
(kernel-image-2.4.18-k7) was installed (at least the kernel itself was
installed correctly). I ended up with a non-bootable, non-working
system.
ISSUE 1 - base-installer
Main problem is wrong selection of kernel.
Install base system selected 2.4.18-k7, this should be 2.4.18-686 or
2.4.18-i386.

ISSUE 2 - kbd-chooser
I used the german language during install but the sort order is in
english. Deutsch (gemran) is under G, should be under D.
ISSUE 3 - bootloader
After the Install hangs at 86% i tried to install a bootloader, but
then always a base install started.
