Comments/Problems:
(1) The title of the boot loader message was:
Welcome to Debian GNU/Linux ${DEBIAN_VERSION}!
Seems as the substition is not done correctly by debian-cd
(2) Why does netcfg ask for a hostname at priority high?
I thought that this is implemented in base-config now. If we keep the
minimal questions in d-i policy this should go away again.
(3) On the netinst install partitioner crashed after I selected the
filsystem for the root partition. On the second try it worked without
problems.
These images seem to be quite beta2 ready for powermacs.
