Just an update -- somebody put me on to Virtual Box, and it works! It's
free for non-commercial use, and has allowed me to bypass this problem
completely. I could install directly off the weekly build ISO file
without needing to burn a CD, and use the default installation, and
everything ran without a hitch.
Having Debian running as a guest OS makes it trivial to switch between
systems without any dual-booting hassles.
So for anybody wanting to run both OSX and Debian on a new iMac, I'd
recomment this route.
Cheers, Mike.
