the CD I used is still in /dev/hdc. Notice that for Apple PPC machines,
having all these partitions is normal: Apple uses them for drivers, so
anyone dual-booting an Apple PPC machine will have tables similar to this.

Comments/Problems:
Two problems: the first was that it wouldn't give me a list of keyboards. I
hit return when it was on the "Select Keyboard" entry, but it would just
return to the main screen. I also tried CD detection which worked, and it
gave me a list of modules that it wanted to try to load. I said OK, but then
it complained about some of them (I only remember the Sun GEM one, but there
were a couple of others it couldn't find).
I did not try to complete the install. (In fact, I was only going to see if
the partman problem I reported previously was fixed.)

There was a well-known kbd-chooser crash on powerpc at the time; it's
long since been dealt with, so I think it's safe to close this bug. Of
course, if you encounter problems with a current build, please do file
another installation report.
