Comments/Problems:
The installer detected eth0 as the motherboard ethernet card and eth1 as the airwire card. I was connected to the internet through the airwire card, the installer didn't write an /etc/network/interfaces block for eth1.
After the installer was finished and rebooted the machine, it didn't boot to a linux boot loader- it booted directly to OSX. I was able to boot linux by holding down the "option" key during the boot and selecting the linux partition from the menu, and finished installing the boot loader by running "ybin".
ALSO, the kernel installed on the machine doesn't work with external firewire drives. I can see some reference to "logging into sbp2 device {guid}" as the machine boots, but it doesn't show up as a SCSI or IDE device, and the sbp2 module isn't there to manually load.

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.
