I used DEBCONF_PRIORITY=medium, and made sure the HFS modules were loaded. When it got to the "Partition disks" phase, the progress bar got to around 22% then it went blank and returned to the main menu screen with "Partition disks" hilighted. Hitting return at this point blanks the screen for a few seconds then returns to the main menu with the same thing hilighted. I'll _never_ get a chance to partition my disk at this rate... Help?
