I did. :-P
Here's the lowdown: the installer basically works and installs the
system. Unfortunately I can't get either grub or lilo to work, so I
can't boot it.
This may have something to do with device mapping

This may have something to do with device mapping in the BIOS -- I may
not be feeding the right information to lilo and/or grub. Or it may
have something to do with the fact that my system doesn't appear to have
a 'compatibility

I don't think that works, you get the d-i initrd, which is not very good
at booting a regular debian system.

Yeah, you'll need a special CD. However, this used to work with
woody - I really hope

Yeah, but even booting without an initrd (from an existing
installation) should be possible.
