The repeated the next two times I tried to do the initial configuration.
Since this sounds like the error mention in the errata at
http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/errata
I am now trying it in the alternate "recovery mode" option that GRUB presents
Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.4.26-1-386 (recovery mode)
- Arg - same problem it reboots by itself.
I can get to the grub command line but what to do with it??
