Comments/Problems:
the partitioner cannot be used to do anything with the md devices.
everything you try to assign to it like a filesystem or a physical
volume for lvm tries to use md0p1 or md1p1. this is nonsense as md
devives are not to be partitioned.
also the etch netboot images for i386 seem to be all broken. I could
get the sarge netboot to work without problems. the etch ones didn't
work at all. in one case init not found - the other an io error for
/lib/libc.6.so
