Bug#394929: [Etch] installation-guide-i386 - several steps are misleading or cannot be finished

I observed exactly this behaviour: only one option (debootstrap)
vs. many useful options (netinst).

Thanks for the work you've done. Now I intend to do two installations:

1) using the RC1 netinst image, as described in:
http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/
http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/etch_di_rc1/i386/iso-cd/debian-testing-i386-netinst.iso

2) using the deboostrap method from the aforementioned updated appendix
D.3. Installing Debian GNU/Linux from a Unix/Linux System
http://d-i.alioth.debian.org/manual/en.i386/apds03.html

Then I'm going to compare the results and post my further comments to
this bug. I'm not sure yet which host system I'm going to use in case 2),
but I will surely report that.
