Right. Finally found some time for this, sorry it's taken so long.
Grabbed d-i RC1 from:
http://http.us.debian.org/debian/dists/testing/main/installer-m68k/rc1/images/mac/
(vmlinuz-2.2.25-mac + nativehd-initrd.gz)
Booted with Penguin 18 again (kernel parameters: root=/dev/ram
ramdisk_size=20000)
Partitioning picked up both drives this time. I just told it to reformat
the existing ext3 partition and use the existing swap. Did that without
problems.
Upon reboot base-config worked fine - no problems with fstab like last
time.
So a trouble free install this time (though still slow ;).
Good work d-i team!
