If my memory serves, with my cheapbyte Debian 2.1 slink, I simply accept
the default [debian] and it works for me. [note: without "/", ie debian
not /debian]

Use your "binary 1" when installing kernal and base system. Insert "binary
2" only when you arrive dselect (after you pick up a profile) and before
selecting [Access] and [Update]. Afterward, dselect will prompt you for
the correct CD if you don't have the right one in you drive (either 1/2 or
2/2).
Good luck.
