Comments/Problems:
The installer detected eth0 as the motherboard ethernet card and eth1
as the airwire card. I was able to connect to the internet through the
airwire card, but the installer didn't write out an
/etc/network/interfaces block for eth1.
After the installer was finished and rebooted the machine, it didn't
boot to a linux boot loader- it booted directly to OSX. I was able to
boot linux by holding down the "option" key during the boot and
selecting the linux partition from the menu, and finished installing
the boot loader by running "ybin".
The other thing I noticed is that there is no "sbp2" module in the
kernel, which means I am not able to access my external firewire disks
from linux... however the "dmesg" messages show something having to do
with "connecting to sbp2 device" with the GUID of the disk, which makes
me guess that the sbp2 module is compiled into the kernel itself. is
there some secret to accessing this disk? i've tried adding the various
ieee1394 modules which ARE available, without any success.

We are closing this installation report for one of the following
reasons:
- it was reported with a pre-lenny version of Debian
Installer.
- indications in the installation report give the feeling that
the reported problem waslying in another software, unrelated to
D-I, which we can't easily identify.
- indications in the installation report suggest that it may have been
fixed in a more recent version of a D-I component
- it was successful and we forgot closing it..:-)
- it has no information we consider useful
The D-I team is currently in the process of cleaning out the old spool
of installation reports that haven't bene processed yet.
In case you think that the problem you reported has chances to be
still present, please reiterate your installation test with
a more recent image of D-I, if you're in position of doing this.
You'll find daily builds at
http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer. We recommend you choose
the netboot image, in the "daily builds section", then choose to
install "squeeze" when prompted.
If some problems are found, please report them with a new bug sent
against installation-reports.
Many thanks for your understanding and your help improving Debian,
past and present.
