Comments/Problems:

Had to use debian-installer/probe/usb-false to get past initial hang.
Now it hangs while installing in the "gui" with this message: Loading
module 'floppy' for 'Linux floppy'. There is no floppy on the box, nor
is the CMOS configured to show a floppy. Tried floppy=thinkpad, but no
luck.
