Comments/Problems:
Everything worked ok in the end, but I had a few problems along the way.
1) Language!=keyboard. I wanted to install in english using a norwegian
keyboard, but I could only get all norwegian or all english.
2) Since I wanted the keys to say what they did I used norwegian bokmaal
install. This died after looking for a DHCP network showing the console
screen with:
modprobe: failed to load modules usb-ohci
modprobe: failed to load modules usbkbd
modprobe: failed to load modules keybdev
modprobe: failed to load modules usbserial
usb-ohci
usbkbd
keybdev
usbserial
3) I was wanting to install sid, so when offered the choice of
distribution, I choose sid, thinking that base packages would be
downloaded. But it came to the base installation and told be sid
packages couldn't be installed and left me at the main menu. From here I
chose "Choose mirror" (by mistake) but when I chose "Go back" the
installer hung. Reboot.
4) There is no feedback while the filesystems are created. I thought the
installer had hung again.
5) I successfully installed the base system and got to the install boot
loader stage, which complained because I had forgotten to create the
bootstrap partition. I chose partition again, deleted all of the linux
partitions and recreated the bootstrap, swap and root partitions. After
I said ok, the installer returned the the reboot screen, even though I
had just changed the partitons where debian had been installed. So I
went back and chose "Configure and Mount partitions" which told me that
I had "no root partition" and wouldn't let me choose "Continue" or "Go
back". Reboot.
6) While installing the base system and kernel the progress bar stopped
at 75%. I changed terminals during the base install if that had
something to do with it. Made the background go red.
7) A debconf config screen appeared after the reboot screen, but the
machine was already rebooting, so nothing could be set.
Successful boot of harddisk!
7) Long time waiting for exim to start
8) base-config did not configure the hostname.
9) I would like the option of running dselect after tasksel. I use
tasksel to select packages in broad strokes and then use dselect to chop
out stuff I don't need. After running tasksel though, it wanted to
install everything straight away.
Anyway, after quitting the apt-get for tasksel, setting the hostname and
manually apt-get'ing everything I wanted, the system has been fine.

As of beta 2 and later, d-i CDs do not have the choose mirror on the
menu, unless they're a businesscard CD, which does need it. So this bug
can be closed.
