Comments/Problems:
After selecting italian as language I went to the 'select keyboard layout'
menu that didn't show a new menu.
After discover showed a list of modules to load (I left all selected) I
received an error because sungem, ide-scsi, usb-storage aren't found.
I think that all of them are built into the kernel.
My wifi card (airport) wasn't detected but wifi tools were installed. I did a
modprobe airport in tty2 and then configured via DHCP the network.
Running partman gave me two problems:
1. it told me that the partition type isn't known for my architecture
2. while starting it was stuck at 14% for 1 minute, then I stopped it
