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/.

I fixed this in base-installer 1.16:
base-installer (1.16) experimental; urgency=low
NOTE: not for sarge, needs rootskel 1.11
* Colin Watson
- Add G5 PowerMac7,3 tests based on /proc/cpuinfo provided by Shyamal
Prasad.
- Prefer SMP kernels on multi-processor powerpc systems.
- Improve kernel selection for Transmeta Crusoe i386 systems.

It'll only work on netboot though, for the aforementioned CD size
reasons.
