Bug#248437: about your Debian installation report

As requested, I attempted another testing install (with pre-rc2
businesscard).  I had two existing OS X related partitions.  The guided
partioner created a root, swap, and bootstrap partition, but the installer
still complained afterwards that it needed an Apple_Bootstrap partition of
size so_many_K.  I went back into the partitioner and confirmed that it was
really present then chose Finish, after which the installation proceeded
normally, even booting linux afterwards.  There were mirror/ dependency
issues that prevented the first setup steps from finishing, but I don't know
if that fits into this bug report.  I hope this helps.  Here is my partition
table:

/dev/disk0  map block size=512
   #:                 type name                  length   base      ( size )
   1:      Apple_Bootstrap untitled                1954 @ 64
   2:  Apple_partition_map Apple                     63 @ 1
   3:            Apple_HFS Apple_HFS_Untitled_3 112753712 @ 4456512   ( 53.8G)
   4:      Apple_UNIX_SVR2 untitled             4191407 @ 2018      (  2.0G)
   5:      Apple_UNIX_SVR2 swap                  263087 @ 4193425   (128.5M)
   6:           Apple_Free Extra                     16 @ 117210224

Device block size=512, Number of Blocks=117210240
DeviceType=0x0, DeviceId=0x0
