Comments/Problems:
The install boot loader step didn't work. I got around this by going
to a virtual console and running mkofboot myself.
<Description of the install, in prose, and any thoughts, comments
and ideas you had during the initial install.>
* want proper hd-media installer image
* RAID1 is hopeless
* want SMP kernels at install time
* ugh, this is distressing. d-i created a swap partition but did not
construct /etc/fstab such that it would be mounted (the swap
partition did not appear at all).
Install logs and other status info is available in /var/log/debian-installer/.
