Comments/Problems:
This was a great install experience.
All the issues I reported in beta2 and beta3 are resolved. (I've
already closed the older installation reports.)
The only problem was that my Windows XP partition was not detected. I
had manually partitioned using fdisk from a recovery disk before
installing because I was doing various other drive rearrangement. At
the time I booted, I had the factory master boot record (which just
boots from the "active" partition), and /dev/hda2 was already marked
bootable but did not have a valid file system on it. (In other words,
my machine was not a state where it could be booted without a floppy
or CD.) Windows XP was fully operational, however and could be booted
manually from the grub prompt (rootnoverify (hd0,2), chainloader +1).
For what it's worth, my XP partition was installed from a Norton Ghost
2003 image of the original factory installed image from HP. It's
running on NTFS. Since I almost never boot into XP, it's pretty
vanilla.
On my desktop work system with Windows 2000 Pro on a VFAT partition
and RedHat 9 on an extended partition, d-i b4 was able to detect both
operating systems and put correct entries in menu.lst.
Also, it would be nice if debian-installer would have put a 686 kernel
instead of a 386 kernel on my machine. This is particularly true on
my desktop which has a P4 with hyperthreading and needs an smp kernel
to take advantage of that fact. (I will send this comment in a
separate wishlist bug report.)

That you for your installation reports. Glad the installation went smoothly.
The issue you reported with d-i not recognizing your NTFS XP partition is a
known error for Beta 4 and has been fixed in the daily builds.
See: http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/errata
Selection of the right kernel _is_ supported by d-i, but due to size
considerations (limited to about 100MB) only the i386 kernel is included on
the netinst iso.
The full debian CD's will support a choice of kernels.
Also, you are offered a choice of kernels if you use the businesscard iso as
the kernel will be downloaded from a mirror.
I am closing both reports as there were no other issues.
