Comments/Problems:
It took a few tries to get LILO to live on /dev/hda3 instead of
/dev/hda. I like to mark the extended partition active when booting
to Linux. Can grub do this?
Installed kernel 2.4.27 first with netinstall, then added 2.6.8 kernel.
Was able to get ACPI working with 2.6.8 to monitor battery level.
X video was surprisingly easy to get working. Used i810 driver.
ALSA failed to detect/install sound driver. On a lark, put i810_audio
in /etc/modules and sound works without building custom kernel modules.
sl-modem-daemon allows me to access internal modem with minicom, but
not with wvdial. Did not have to compile a kernel module, but may
try it anyway. Modem speaker integration does not work.
Compiled and installed madwifi-modules-*-386_20041023-1_i386 for
Atheros 5212 wifi network interface. Eventually got wpasupplicant
(with resolvconf) to work reasonably well. Documentation is very
sketchy. About 4 (expert) man-days of effort to get this working.
toshset and toshutils packages do not work. toshset complained that
ACPI was detected and wants APM instead. toshiba kernel module
installs but does not work.
Install/first-run experience is much improved over Woody.

You may want to take a look at my installation page for my Satellite

Grub has a 'makeactive' option, but that is limited to primairy
partitions. However, I don't think makeactive is needed to boot Linux.
Check 'man grub' for details.

toshset and toshutils don't work for me either: probably limited to older
models. fnfx does mostly work and the toshiba_acpi module also works.
Closing your report as the installation was successful. The issues you
mention are not really installer issues AFAICT.
Thanks for submitting the report.
Cheers,
FJP
P.S. If you don't agree to the closing of the report, just reply and we
can reopen it.
