OK, I tried again, this time on a SCSI system. I had to manually modprobe
my SCSI HBA driver (aic7xxx), as well as sd_mod, but I was then able to
fdisk and mount from the menu as expected. I had to mkfs manually; I did
not see how it was supposed to happen from the menu. I was able to start
downloading the base system.
The Packages file at
http://people.debian.org/~tfheen/d-i/dists/sarge/main/binary-i386/
is out of date now; I got a 404 on libdb1-compat, so I was not able to
complete the download or the installation.
