Your best bet is one of these images:
 http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/

RC1 is no longer usable (see the News section) - RC2 should be

I'm going to go ahead and close this bug as I'm fairly certain it has
been fixed, but don't hestitate to reopen if you run into it again w/
the latest build.
