Bug#337806:

[Jeremiah Smith <jeremiahjsmith@gmail.com>]

Thank you.  This allowed me to skip the 'detect network hardware' and
'setup network' steps in the install and complete the remainder of
process.

I don't know if I need to create a separate issue/bug report for this,
but when I boot from the newly installed Debian OS, it hangs right
after "Starting periodic command scheduler: cron."  It does the same
thing if start using the recovery module.

I tried booting from the install CD using root=/dev/hda2 (this is the
location I see displayed when the OS starts from the hard drive), but
it tells me to 'Please append a correct "root=" boot option' and gives
the 'Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 03:02'

Thanks,
Jeremiah
