http://cdimage.debian.org/pub/cdimage-testing/sarge_d-i/i386/rc1/sarge-i386-netinst.iso
and tried to boot over network

Base System Installation Checklist:
[O] = OK, [E] = Error (please elaborate below), [ ] = didn't try it
Initial boot worked: [O]
Configure network HW: [E]
My PCMCIA 3Com 3CXSH572BT card was not correctly configured. It did,
however, work when I later tried the same installation with the same
PCMCIA card and even the same hard disk on a Thinkpad X20. I tried both
the 2.4 and 2.6 kernel. I rather think it is a Debian problem, because
it worked nicely with SuSE 9.0.

Comments/Problems:
<Description of the install, in prose, and any thoughts, comments
and ideas you had during the initial install.>
Installation failed.
The base system was installed. However, of course no further installation
could be done, because network wasn't working. There should be a simple
way to stop the installer after initial reboot and start it again at a
later point in time (when one has corrected the network configuration
problem, for example).
Install logs and other status info is available in /var/log/debian-installer/.
