Comments/Problems:
Booting was a real PITA; I think mainly because I tried the images linked
from the d-i page first rather than Stephen Marenka's images. Once I had those
it was a lot simpler.
Was worried about memory as Stephen had said 40MB was probably needed; didn't
seem to be a problem however.
Disk partitioning only offers /dev/sda; I have /dev/sdb as well which is where
I actually wanted to install. Was able to used mac-fdisk from the shell
manually to partition /dev/sdb
I initially tried with a SyQuest removable drive rather than the Conner drive
as sdb, but when it didn't get listed I assumed it wasn't being detected.
(sda is an 80MB Quantum drive internal to the Mac which holds Mac OS stuff)
All ok until I rebooted into the new system (used the same kernel as for
install but told Penguin to pass root=/dev/sdb5):
No /etc/fstab; or rather, an empty one.
Created this manually.
Rest of the install seemed to go fine, albeit very, very slowly.

Great, since this is fixed, I'm closing the report.
