Base System Installation Checklist:
[O] = OK, [E] = Error (please elaborate below), [ ] = didn't try it

Initial boot worked:    [O]
Configure network HW:   [O]
Config network:         [O]
Detect CD:              [O]
Load installer modules: [O]
Detect hard drives:     [O]
Partition hard drives: [E] Partitioner did not detect already existing software raid devices and install raid setup did not work. Had to enter raid setup and then use console 2 to create (an already existing) software raid md12 by issuing: mdadm --create --auto /dev/md12 -n 2 -l 0 /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part11 /dev/ide/host2/bus0/target0/lun0/part11 The partitioner then saw the raid device as RAID0 device #12 and I was able to mount it as /, format it and do a partial install. 
Create file systems:    [O]
Mount partitions:       [O]
Install base system: [E] Last msg in console 3 was Setting up base-config (2.73). Last msg on screen before failure was "Configuring APT Source" I looked at /target/etc/apt/sources.list in a shell and it looked ok. Dunno. 
Install boot loader:    [ ]
Reboot:                 [ ]

Comments/Problems:
Above pretty much says it all. I would like to see the partitioner see already existing software raid devices and show them when manual partitioning is selected. Also, would like to be able to address each Install Base System step individually when there is a problem. Might have been able to get past the Configuring APT Source (if that was the problem). 

The /var/log/dpkg.log is huge, but the last few entries are:

Worked around problem by using Debian GNU/Linux 3.1a _Sarge_ 20050607 install DVD. RAID devices were seen by the partitioner only after entering the Configure Raid Devices and exiting it. However, the software raid device numbers did not match the numbers seen by Fedora, SuSE, RHEL, etc. I was able to find the device reserved for this installation of Debian. Installed Sarge, then upgraded to Etch. Only problem was the x server install was fubared during Sarge install and I had to install the parts that were missed by hand. Now running an Etch 2.6 SMP kernel with / on a raid0 software set. Thanks.
