Matt,

There was nothing on the 4th virtual console (alt-F4) except a blinking 
cursor in the upper left corner of the screen.  On the 3rd virtual console 
there was info related to packages being downloaded (similar to what I see on 
an apt-get dist-upgrade for example).  

If debootstrap doesn't display anything until later I am probably in error.  
I was looking on the 4th virtual console while packages were being downloaded 
only.  Confusion arises when the screen says that debug info is on alt-F4 and 
there is nothing there, while there is output on apt-F3.

I can try this again with the disks that I have to see if I can replicate the 
"bug" if you wish, but I an sure thats where it was. 

It should also be noted that I was logged in on the 2nd virtual console 
while the installer was running.
