Can you reproduce this ?
You can do it even on the installed machine as, at this step, the
system does not yet need to write on the HD.
It would be nice to know what *exactly* you entered to the netcfg
questions.
booting with "install debconf/priority=medium DEBCONF_DEBUG=developer" could help, here....
Then look into /var/log/syslog or, even better, send it to us.....
(the usual way to do so is copying it somewhere after the problem
occurred, then find a way to continue the install, install the openssh
optional component and finally scp the copied file to another host on
the network....or reach the partitoning step, mount a local partition
and write down the file there....)
