Comments/Problems:
I used the regular text-mode install. Selected an existing logical
partition hdb8 to be formatted as ext3 and mounted as /. Everything
proceeded normally, and I installed grub to the boot sector of hdb8,
as I usually do for a trial install. My working system (Etch) is on
hdb10, booted from grub in the MBR of hda, and I added an entry to its
menu.lst file to allow booting hdb8 via chainloader. This setup has
always worked for me in the past.
When I tried to boot into the freshly-installed system, I saw this:
root (hd1,7)
Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83
savedefault
makeactive
Error 12: Invalid device requested
So I tried adding a new entry to Etch's menu.lst to boot hdb8
directly instead of as chainloader (just copied the stanza out of
the menu.lst that was created on hdb8 by the installer). The result
was similar to the above, but with this error:
Error 2: Bad file or directory type
A second attempt at the install (this time omitting the Desktop in
tasksel to save time) produced the same result.
On my third attempt, I chose to format hdb8 as ext2 instead of ext3.
Kept all other choices the same as before, and again selected only
Standard System in tasksel to speed up the process (at this point I
only wanted to get to the point of installing a bootable system).
At the end of this third and final (to date) installation attempt,
booting with the chainloader method resulted in the same error as
before, but a direct boot from Etch's grub finally succeeded in
starting the system.
