Comments/Problems:
The automagic partitioner *still* makes a "i" partition which means
aboot fails to install. Once again the fix is to go to a shell
escape and delete it.
However if you try to install Debian via a serial console an extra
problem comes up. You get the error message about unable to install
aboot. Next you go to the shell and you get a shell with a messed
up screen (hitting enter only gives you a LF no CR so you get staircases)
fdisk /dev/discs/.... to get the partition table.
I can see the hit m for help line but no key works, the console is
effectively dead.
This problem isn't there for the standard video console. The terminal
was another host running minicom in a gnome terminal.

We are closing this installation report for one of the following
reasons:
- it was reported with a pre-lenny version of Debian
Installer.
- indications in the installation report give the feeling that
the reported problem waslying in another software, unrelated to
D-I, which we can't easily identify.
- indications in the installation report suggest that it may have been
fixed in a more recent version of a D-I component
- it was successful and we forgot closing it..:-)
- it has no information we consider useful
The D-I team is currently in the process of cleaning out the old spool
of installation reports that haven't bene processed yet.
In case you think that the problem you reported has chances to be
still present, please reiterate your installation test with
a more recent image of D-I, if you're in position of doing this.
You'll find daily builds at
http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer. We recommend you choose
the netboot image, in the "daily builds section", then choose to
install "squeeze" when prompted.
If some problems are found, please report them with a new bug sent
against installation-reports.
Many thanks for your understanding and your help improving Debian,
past and present.
