thought it was best to use a Stage3 install then why not give it a shot.
I read your message and was surprised at this. Last time I read the
handbooks the Handbook gave stage 1/2/3 options and the 2005.1 handbook
stuck to stage 3. (Talking x86 here, I have never done an instal on
other architectures).
Now, like you, I read this in the Handbook:
"Make sure you download a stage3 tarball - installations using a stage1 or stage2
tarball are not supported anymore."
WTF? When did this happen?

Note that it's not terribly difficult to use catalyst to build a stage1 from a
stage3:
