Ok, my mistake, I have been mislead by a sentence on the FAI wiki, that 
seems to mean that the "preserve" option is now given _only_ on the 
disk_config line:

"The "preserveX" and "boot" options are one of the options now given on 
the disk_config line..."

Now sda1 & sda2 are preserved, but setup-storage fails when building the 
ext3 filesystem on /boot (debug log is on 
http://paste.debian.net/19133/). This is weird, as running 'mkfs.ext3 
/dev/sda3' works fine from the shell just after installation has stopped.

How am I supposed to use this url? adding it to sources.list doesn't 
work, as there is no Packages.gz file; shall I just use dpkg?
