Comments/Problems:
During boot, the syslinux menu appears (install, Graphical install,
etc.), but doesn't respond to any key press, hence can not even boot
the install kernel.
Copying the initrd.gz and linux files from the above image to a lenny
image (http://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian/dists/lenny/main/installer-amd64/current/images/hd-media/boot.img.gz)
allows the install kernel to boot and complete the installation of squeeze.
