Comments/Problems:
CD Detection: d-i failed to detect the cdrom. Workaround: Switch the
BIOS from RAID/AHCI to RAID/ATA. After this it was detected
automatically.
Reboot: This machine has a 57MB system partition from Dell. Although I
haven't looked at it I presume it contains some kind of extendend BIOS
tool. This partition (sda1) is marked as bootable. I presume this was
the reason why GRUB was installed with groot=(hd0,0), which failed to
boot into Linux. I understand that this is a user error on the one hand,
on the other hand this also seems to indicate that groot doesn't need to
be bootable but the partition containing the kernel.
hwclock: can be solved by generous applicance of ^C and killall -9
hwclock.
