FYI, when you've booted the installation system, a 'Ctl+Alt+F2' (or F4? sorry... fuzzy memory) switches you to a console where you're already logged in, passwordless, as root in an environment that's at least as helpful as the rescue system. You can mount and umount devices, navigate directories, edit files... also, I think 'Ctl+Alt+F10 gets you to kernel messages. In fact, now that I've realized how vague these descriptions are :-) I suggest you try booting the installation system and stepping through 'Ctl+Alt+F1 through F10 to confirm what's there and what isn't.
