This seems to have been due to the way I used Debian Installer,
because it doesn't seem to have support for setting mountpoints on
existing ext3 partitions. I ended up deleting hda5 and on re-creation
it became hda7. So the actual partitions are the right sizes and in
the right places on the disc, they are just numbered differently from
how I would normally have them - towards the end of the disc I now
have hda7 followed by hda5 then hda6.

Unfortunately there's no etherconf package on the netinst image. I
configured ethernet by hand by adding entries to
the /etc/network/interfaces and /etc/resolv.conf files, and then
base-config was able to continue with the selection of mirror etc. I
now have X and Fluxbox installed plus alsa-base, jackd, qjackctl,
jamin and hydrogen. The Ardour package seems to be broken for the
time being.
As for building a multimedia kernel, it would make more sense to do it
here using Free's 2.6.10 source package than for Free to
cross-compile it on a 32-bit machine. This may take me a while to
figure out, but I'll gladly contribute any debs that I can get to
run.
Cheers!
