Related to your answer to Matthew, can you send us the result of:
df -k
ls -l /boot

I see, so you want to boot on primary boot disk (FWSCSI.6.0 iirc) and change
all sda in sdb.
Well I don't try to test d-i so with 2*4Gb of internal disk, I prefer to
put the system in miror (md1) on the first 2Gb of each disk (well 2.5Gb
exactly) and put the rest (2*1.5Gb) together in a volume group for testing
stuff ;)

I just forgot to spoke about OpenGL: Grant remember me that OpenGL was in
fact _open_ specification but no implementation was never release in term
of open sources :(
