Well, as the RC3 netinst image works for other people, there must be some 
kind of problem during your installation. As far as we know the scripts 
used are good.
I'm afraid that if you cannot provide a little bit more detailed 
information on how or why base-config is failing, we have no chance of 
diagnosing and solving this.

You could try changing (using nano from vt2) the first line of
  /var/lib/dpkg/info/base-installer.postinst
to
  #! /bin/sh -x
before base-installation is run. This will give you a lot of debugging 
output in /var/log/syslog.
