Comments/Problems:
  Everything worked pretty well actually, just partitioning/creating file
  systems was a bit problematic. 
  
  I chose automatic partitioning of my HDD with a sun partition table (one
  large partition for everything). That didn't work, failing with "Can't
  partition this way, probably too many primary partitions" (or something
  like that).
  
  So I tried other partition table formats: msdos (which gave
  the same error with auto partitioning) and bsd (which worked, but the
  partitions weren't recognized by the kernel/devfs, so I couldn't mount
  them).

  Finally I chose sun partition table format again and partitioned
  manually, which finally worked.

  Creating ext3 on the / partition failed again though, with an opaque
  "Couldn't create ext3 filesystem on /" error. So I chose ext2 for /boot
  and /, which worked.

  Everything else worked just fine.

Cheers,
Christian Aichinger

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.
