After selecting Install Operating System Kernel and Drivers from the
dbootstrap menu, I wanted to type in the path to the directory on my hard
disk where powermac/images-1.44/rescue.bin could be found. I selected the
appropriate option from the menu (manually specify the path). I found that I
could type in the path following instmnt/, in my case Debian/current, and
that I could use the <...> menu to browse my disk and verify that the files
were within the specified directory, but when I chose OK to acknowledge the
final path, it could not find the files.
On the other hand, if after I first selected Install Operating System Kernel
and Drivers, I instead chose the 'list all paths' option, the installer took
a long time to search my entire disk but did finally propose the same path I
had typed in on the first try. It then continued with the installation after
I accepted the proposed path.
This same problem occurred later when attempting to install the Base system
through a similar dialog. The manual path specification didn't work.
I was using the files which had been downloaded earlier to my internal hard
disk hda5, which was mounted for me properly by the system.

This is a bug I submitted earlier. While the dialog is still a bit unclear,
it works now and this bug should be closed.
