Bug#489778: Could it be an issue with the logical/extended partition on /dev/sda2
I just performed a successful re-install of Etch and what jumps out at me
is that / (root) was placed on the sda3 partition while sda2 represents
the entire logical or extended partition.
In previous failed attempts I do recall seeing / (root) placed on /sda2
which leads me to wonder if, in those cases, there was a conflict which
resulted in the partitions not being read correctly.
New, workable system:
