Comments/Problems:
Installer creates partition i which break the aboot installer. Deleting
this partition makes aboot install. I have no idea why that
partition is created as I just choose multiuser system and let the
d-i do the work.
Rebooting the system it tries to boot to dqb.??????? which is my CDROM,
but it is supposed to be booting my hard disk which is dqa0
Pressing reset button fixes that.
The kernel that is installed on the hard disk is the correct one
now, which is wonderful!
