Public bug reported:
This is what was happing on a VM, happens on a real machine too, so the
VM setup isn't important.
here are the key parts of my "install server" (dhcp, tftp, apache)
setup:
boot files (kernel and initrd) avalible to tftp
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/var/lib/tftpboot/ubuntu/edgy$ mount -o loop
edgy-alternate-i386.iso alternate/
# /var/lib/tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/default
label ubuntu-testing-alternate-hands-off
kernel

interesting: if I # this line from early_command.sh
anna-install openssh-client-udeb
the install doesn't 'crash and loop' and I can run it in the VT-2 and it
doesn't seem to cause any problems.
I'll attach foo.cfg and early_command.sh
