Comments/Problems:
The install went ok. There are two points I do want to note however.
First, the windows partition wasn't detected by os-prober. A previous
install with a i386 d-i image did find it. Most likely caused by the
ntfs module being absent.
Second, although I have an AMD cpu d-i installed an Intel Xeon kernel-image.
It does boot and seems to be working good enough to install an k8
kernel-image.
In the logs I found a note that the installer didn't know what the amd64
architecture was and it looked like it just defaulted to the first
non-netboot kernel it could find.
regards,
Thomas
