This will absolutely not work, you must use devfs-style paths to all
devices when running inside the debian installer.

But this is an exercise in futility anyway -- if the disk could be seen
by the kernel, partman would've let him partition it to begin with.  It
doesn't matter which partitioner he tries to use, he is *not* going to
be able to partition the disk until we figure out why the DAC960 module
won't load for him.
