Comments/Problems:
Network autoconfig failed because it could not get DHCP.
I think this is because this hardware has an issue that makes the clock run
at double speed, see:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?s=5f631ce7bfd7e2f1cb6a7c3177cb1c91&t=75281
for example, as a result the DHCP probably timed out twice as fast as it should
have. Ethereal (from another computer) showed my router WAS making DHCP offers
but the new box would not accept them. After install was done I ran "dhclient"
and it worked fine.
Previous system on the same two hard disks was OpenBSD 3.6. Installer did not
understand the existing partitions so I had to wipe the entire partition table
for one drive (hda) and repartition which then worked fine. Later I was able to
mount the existing drives from hdb as ufstype=44bsd, see /etc/fstab above.
Motherboard's integrated video was not configured such that X was able to work
on boot. Right now I have command-line only. Going to try installing another
video card. Curiously both the internal video and the card worked on Knoppix
and even Ubuntu live-CDs, so I was hoping basic Debian would know what to do.
Surprised that rsync was not automatically installed, but had no trouble
with "apt-get install rsync".
Overall this install went pretty smooth (so far, still have not fixed the
clock problem) so thanks a million to all!
