Comments/Problems:

When defining/creating file systems the mount point should be ignored 
for swap partitions rather than remembering the previously selected 
partition.

Using the disk partitions that are already setup, reformating all of the 
partitions except for /dev/sda1 which is NTFS which should be mounted 
as /win2k.

First selected /dev/sda2, format it for reiserfs and mount as /boot
/dev/sda3, format for reiserfs and mount as /
/dev/sda1, leave partition intact and mount as /win2k
/dev/sda5, format as swap and the mount point was set to /win2k which 
caused an error.

Workaround to avoid the bug:  reformat swap first
Workaround if you are stuck in the bug: set the swap partition type as 
some other type (e.g., ext2), when prompted about the mount point tell 
it not to mount the partition, then immediately set file system type 
back to swap and everything works like it should.

Thanks for your report.
Closing as it's an installation report from a debian installer version
which isn't supported anymore.
Feel free to test and report any issues against the current debian
installer release (Squeeze) or the daily images which supports more hardware and also
it's improved.
Thanks!
