Thanks, I upgraded to the daily image (from rc2) and I can now seed the
password successfully.  There still seems to be a problem preseeding the
"start" note.  The following one-liner fixes that.  Without it I always
get "an installation step failed" message when I preseed
d-i debian-installer/network-console/start note
