Comments/Problems:

When booting the 2.6 kernel on this arch my PS/2 keyboard has no input
ability.  Works fine w/ the 2.4 kernel.  Serial console works, did not try
USB keyboard.

Additionally, the installer failed to recognize part of my preseed
directive:
	d-i     partman-auto/disk       string /dev/discs/disc0/disc

and stopped at the screen asking me which disk to partition.  Changing the
string to "/dev/sda" avoided that problem.  It works properly with
either choice when booting 2.4.


Thanks,
