Comments/Problems:
Held down option key at startup to select the Debian install DVD as
the boot volume. Got to the black-and-white greet screen and typed
"install". Went to a white screen telling me to type "mac-boot" to
continue or "shut-down" to shutdown, and "Release key to continue".
Couldn't type anything at this point, even after switching from third-
party (MacAlly) USB keyboard to default Apple USB keyboard. Had to
shutdown with power switch.

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.
