This is wrong   and deprecrated

Should just be      /dev/sdb

Seems you is found an old document. See 
http://www.us.debian.org/releases/lenny/i386/apbs04.html.en
for correct style.

If one is concerned that the kernel might choose the wrong disk, you 
want /dev/sdb to be used but the kernel sees them in the wrong order and 
your usbstick is used instead (been there..) a tip is this:

d-i partman-auto/disk string 
/dev/disk/by-id/scsi-1ATA_SAMSUNG_HM250JI_S0TVJD0P610587

One caveat here is that its what  your d-i install kernel sees thats 
counts. Check first.
