The error was something along the lines of "chroot /target dpkg --configure coreutils basepasswd". After a bunch of poking around, and chrooting into /target myself, and attempting to use dpkg manually, I discovered the error seems to have been that there was no tar executable in the chroot. Which is a problem. I got out of the chroot, copied over the CD's tar command to /target/bin, and switched over to the installation window. This time it worked flawlessly. -- Please make sure that the hardware-summary log file, and any other installation logs that you think would be useful are attached to this report.
