You might want to post to debian-boot instead of debian-user. Not that we
aren't helpful, but that's where the the installer developers hang out.

My first thought would be to try burning the CD again. You did check the
MD5 sum, right? When I installed Sarge (Debian Testing) recently, my first
CD-ROM did burn defectively, and I know it's not uncommon.
Well, I found the problem. It turns out that I was trying to install from
the 2nd disk :( I realized this after I posted. I am a little surprised
that it did the initial partitioning being that it was the 2nd disk. It was
my first time using jigdo and I don't know what I did wrong; perhaps I
mistyped the file name.
Thanks for your help,
Raymond
