OK. Burned Hardy Alpha 2 AMD64 Alternate Install CD and ran a test
install against a clean drive, following the recipe above. The new
installer failed before I could even run this test, while attempting to
bootstrap base...

...debootstrap: /usr/sbin/debootstrap: 
...debootstrap: /usr/sbin/debootstrap: 317:
...debootstrap: /usr/sbin/debootstrap: cannot create /target/test-dev-null/: No 
such device or address
...debootstrap: /usr/sbin/debootstrap: 
...debootstrap: /usr/sbin/debootstrap: E: NOEXEC
...debootstrap: /usr/sbin/debootstrap: EF: Cannot install into target /target 
mounted with noexec or nodev

Checked mount and saw

/dev/mapper/mainvg-rootlv on /target type xfs (rw,ikeep,noquota)

Would you like me to open a separate bug?

I wonder if this is a more mundane installer regression, or if there's
some new issue with XFS and special files. I'm not sure how common a
choice XFS is for a root filesystem? Then again, there is no
documentation to that effect, and no warnings in the installer one way
or another.
