    I'm currently processing old installation reports, and since you
    reported some problems with the m68k debian installer back in
    March/April, I would very much appreciate it, if you could find time to download and test the latest[1] cd image and confirm whether you still
    see the problems you've mentioned.

    If you can confirm they are no longer present, I will close this report.

    Right. Finally found some time for this, sorry it's taken so long.

    Grabbed d-i RC1 from:

    http://http.us.debian.org/debian/dists/testing/main/installer-m68k/rc1/images/mac/

    (vmlinuz-2.2.25-mac + nativehd-initrd.gz)

    Booted with Penguin 18 again (kernel parameters: root=/dev/ram ramdisk_size=20000)

    Partitioning picked up both drives this time. I just told it to reformat
    the existing ext3 partition and use the existing swap. Did that without problems.

    Upon reboot base-config worked fine - no problems with fstab like last
    time.

    So a trouble free install this time (though still slow ;).

    Good work d-i team!

    J.
