Comments/Problems:

Well, I don't know what changed, but I think this was the fastest d-i has
ever installed on this hardware.  *Something* must be better in this kernel.

It also seems that d-i managed to float my local mirror to the top of the
mirror selection list.  That was freaky.

I haven't really been keeping track, but I think this may have also been the
first d-i run on this hardware where the SCSI controller hasn't caused the
kernel to explode.  This time around, it was detected nicely, although I
wasn't installing to any partitions there.

Looks good, ship it!

Now to test CD installs...
