Odd.

Oh, well. Here's more breakage:

  - touchpad works in X after installation, just not during installation. Missing driver?
  - nv driver doesn't get detected by Xorg
  - nv driver doesn't work :). Barely shows anything on the screen. Looks quite broken
  - nouveau driver doesn't get built
  - bcm wifi drivers need to be manually downloaded. Now wifi works.
