Base System Installation Checklist:
[O] = OK, [E] = Error (please elaborate below), [ ] = didn't try it

Initial boot worked:    [O]

Config network:         [O]
Detect CD:              [O]
Load installer modules: [O]

Mount partitions:       [ ]
Install base system:    [ ]
Install boot loader:    [ ]
Reboot:                 [ ]

Comments/Problems:

After in the partitioner creating two new partitions (near the end of the
harddrive), the devfs does not show these new partitions. The file-system
creation then fails (at tune2fs?). Also, tried:
- - mounting a second devfs: It also does not contain the partitions
- - call sync: does no difference
- - sfdisk: shows the new partitions.
Apparently, the kernel does not reread the new partition-table.

After a reboot, the installation seemed to work (didn't complete it,
though)

Using this image as a rescue disc showed a related (?) problem: trying to
mount an existing ext3 partition failed, claiming the device or resource
was in use. It should not habe been, though (partitioner was never run,
booted "expert" entry).
