I see. That's kind of crap really considering how basic (and uncapable) 
the current Debian installer is.

The old RH installer (back in the days when it was C based) did much 
better with server class hardware (think hardware RAID systems) and would 
work in systems that had 8MB of RAM and perhaps less.

I am going to take a look at the Sarge installer this week.
