OKay, this works in the easy mode option. I alone simply don't have the capacity to test (and fix!) all possible paths in the installer. If you run into such problem, try to reproduce it with a daily snapshot of the installer on one of the officially supported architectures and then file a bug against debian-installer. Adrian -- .''`.
