  Left the last 38.5 GB free so I can experiment a bit with Debian
  installers, other distributions and what not.  Everything that
  really needs a partition for itself.

Comments/Problems:

--- Emacs Muse notes I took while installing, wiki markup alert ---
  Press F1 for help, or ENTER to boot :: nah!  I want control, so let's
  boot using =expert= mode and set the boot keyboard to =jp106= rightaway.
  It took me a while to figure out that you are apparently supposed to
  hit _Enter_ when you see =SET debian-installer/keymap jp106=, and again at
  =FSET debian-installer/keymap seen yes= before the installer continues.
  By the way, the _=_ key is at the _^_ position of the Japanese keyboard.
  Tough, entering options when your keyboard is not configured yet =;-)=.

  Choose language :: opted for =No localization= by choosing =C=.  For the
  country I picked =Japan= by hitting =j= twice.  Nice feature when you've
  got to navigate large selection lists.

  Select a keyboard layout :: I use a =PC-style= keyboard with =Japanese=
  keymap!  Didn't I just set that?  The preselected keymap is =American
  English=.  Or are you not supposed to configure the keyboard (and keep
  the kernel keymap) if you've used the =bootkbd= boot option?  Anyway, if
  you can't find the _=_ on your keyboard, you can set it up here.

  Detect and mount CD-ROM :: loaded all preselected modules (=floppy=,
  =rz1000=, =opti621=, =aec62xx=, =piix=, =trm290=, =cy82c693=, =sc1200=, =cs5530=,
  =ns87415=, =cs5520=, =it821x=, =serverworks=, =triflex=, =siimage=, =sis5513=,
  =pdc202xx_new=, =hpt34x=, =slc90e66=, =alim15x3=, =via82cxxx=, =amd74xx=,
  =pdc202xx_old=, =cmd64x=, =ide-generic=, =ide-disk=, =ide-cd= and =isofs=) w/o
  prompting for module parameters.  As my machine does *not* have a PCMCIA
  interface I did not start the PC card services.  After a little
  contemplation, the installer told me I was using the =Debian GNU/Linux
  testing "Etch" - Official Snapshot amd64 Binary-1 (20060314)= CD.  Hmm,
  I thought I was using the =beta2=.  Anyway the MD5 checksum of the ISO
  image I used is =33a986cd900e3c4162045011b947be35=.

  Check the CD-ROM(s) integrity :: just to make sure.  After the check
  the installer goes through what looks like the =Detect and mount CD-ROM=
  stage again.  It does not show a list of modules however, before
  asking whether to prompt for module parameters.

  Load installer components from CD :: selected the following additional
  components: =baseconfig=, =eject= and =mouse-modules= on the assumption that
  these might somehow be useful.  All other components did not seem to
  make sense for my hardware.

  Detect network hardware :: just goes off, does its thing and puts you
  at the next step.  I told it not to prompt for module parameters.

  Configure the network :: showed two network devices, very much to my
  surprise because the machine has only one for all I know.  I tried to
  configure =eth1=, a Realtek Semiconductor RTL-8139/8139C/8139C+, for use
  with DHCP.  This failed because the machine was not hooked up to the
  network, on purpose, and I left it further unconfigured.  I left =eth0=,
  listed as =Ethernet of Fast Ethernet=, unconfigured as well.  My guess
  is that this is the machine's IEEE1394 interface.  I set the hostname
  to =hack=.  As an aside, earlier test installs detected the devices the
  other way around.

  Choose a mirror of the Debian archive :: with networking unconfigured
  this step is going to fail anyway, so I skipped it.  I think it sucks
  a bit that this part only caters to HTTP.

  Detect disks :: also goes off, does its thing and puts you back at the
  next step on the main menu.  Again, I didn't want to be prompted for
  module parameters.

  Partition disks :: gave me three options and, because there is nothing
  on my brand new machine's single SATA disk, I opted to =Erase entire
  disk: SCSI1 (0,0,0) (sda) - 250.1 GB ATA WDC WD2500J=.  I prefer to
  break out partitions for =/home=, =/usr=, =/var= and =/tmp= so I was pleased
  to see that this is one of the supported schemes and selected it.  I
  don't know the reasoning behind the computed partition sizes, but I
  trust that the Debian developers have done a good job.  The only thing
  I changed was the partition for =/home=.  I shrank it to a mere 200GB
  and left the remaining space unused for now.  It is meant for testing
  of Debian installers, trying out distributions and other experiments.
  That's it for the partitioning customisations and I wrote the changes
  to disk.  It takes a while to create 200+ GB of file systems and there
  is a fairly long time where the screen goes blue.  Don't worry, the
  installer will get back to you.

  Configure time zone :: guesses based on the country settings and as
  there is only one time zone in Japan, the =Asia/Tokyo= guess is fine.

  Configure the clock :: =Yes= the system clock is set to UTC.

  Set up users and passwords :: after enabling shadow passwords, I set a
  =root= password and wanted to create accounts for myself, my wife and my
  daughter.  Notwithstanding the plural in the menu item description,
  the installer only let me create a single user account.  Guess I'll
  have to make the other accounts later.

  Install the base system :: takes a while but completes fine after
  selecting a kernel.  I used =kernel-image-2.6-amd64-generic=.

  Configure the package manager :: to use *neither* =non-free= nor =contrib=
  software.  The installer then failed to access the mirror.  Obvious,
  of course, because I didn't choose one and the machine is not
  connected to the network to begin with.  Just =Ignore= that as well as
  the warning about the entry for =security.debian.org=.

  Select and install software :: for a =Standard system=, which installs
  some six extra packages.

  Install the GRUB boot loader on a hard disk :: into the master boot
  record and set a password.  Oops, you're not asked to retype the
  password ...  --> used "sparrow"

  Finish the installation :: ejects the CD-ROM and reboots smoothly into
  a freshly installed Debian GNU/Linux testing "Etch" system.
--- end of my installation notes ---

I was slightly surprised not to find lspci.  It gets hard filling out
this report without ;-)

One more thing, in retrospect I think that 2.9GB for swap is overdoing
it a bit when you have 1.0GB of memory.

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.
