Comments/Problems:
This install went very smoothly overall. My comments are all
cosmetic.
During install, the first time the boot manager screen was displayed,
it had this header:
[!] Install LILO boot loader on a hard disk
I overrode the default location of the boot record (from .../disc to
.../disc7). (I can't test the install without overriding right now.)
Then I was dropped into the main menu where I could choose either LILO
or GRUB. I chose GRUB. Everything worked perfectly.
I'm not sure why I got dropped into the main menu, but I'm glad I did
becuase the LILO/GRUB choice is important enough that I want to make
it explicitly.
If users are always dropped back into the main menu at this point,
then the header on the first screen should probably just say "Install
boot loader on a hard disk" with no specific mention of LILO.
Again, this isn't a functionality issue. It's just that the word LILO
is misleading at this point since we may be able to choose GRUB.
Also, as reported earlier with some Beta1 image, GiB and MiB are not
really correct abbreviations for Gigabyte and Megabyte. I'd rather
see GB and MB. It would also be useful to see some feedback as to
which file systems are about to be formatted when we get to that
point. Finally, seeing file system labels while setting up file
systems would be helpful.
Install logs and other status info is available in /var/log/debian-installer/.
Once you have filled out this report, mail it to submit@bugs.debian.org.

You beat me to this by just a few minutes. I just finished
reinstalling with debian-installer beta 4 and am pleased to report
that all the issues I've reported in beta 2 and beta 3 are fixed with
beta 4. I'm once I finish re-applying my customizations, I'll go
through all by back reports and make sure they're appropriately
handled.
I'm taking the liberty of marking this bug "done".
I really like beta 4. Everything with my install worked perfectly.
(There was one tiny issue -- d-i b4 didn't detect another operating
system that I have installed, but I'll be sending in an installation
report shortly where I'll elaborate.)
