Comments/Problems:
The laptop has a PCMCIA ethernet card (3c575_cb module) which is not
listed among the network card choices. I did try 3c59x which is the
appropriate kernel-based PCMCIA modules, but had same results.
After selecting the option that none of the cards were appropriate,
the installer did a little more hardware detection, and then tried to
start cfdisk. The install ended in the error saying that cfdisk could not
open the disk. System frozen at this point; had to power down.
There currently is a debian system on the laptop (an expendable
system), and cfdisk has no problem seeing the partition table.

I'm processing old installation reports, and have, finally, gotten to
yours.
I'm closing your installation report, after determining that:
- Your report mentions some strange problems that seem unlikely to be
present in current versions of the installer.
If you can, please try installing again using a current version of the
debian installer. I recommend the tc1 release, which you can find on our
web page, <http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/>. If you can, try
to reproduce the problems you reported using it, so we can verify that
they're all fixed. We look forward to your new installation report.
