functionality tests

- OK archlinux-2009.08-netinstall-i686-isolinux.iso: /arch/setup netinstall dhcp manual simple disk layout (some errors during package installation. something like 'line 51 [ yade yade', but they seem harmless as the system works fine) (Dieter)
Manual testing
Checklist release
- check for odd boot messages, dmesg
- check environment: network, keymap changing, ...
Checklist installer
- ftp/cd-based
- automatic partioning vs manual.
- manual: all available FS'es + dm-mapper stuff (lvm,dm_crypt). try a rollback.
- countering the installer: try doing steps in the wrong order, confusing or breaking AIF.
- i686 + x86_64
Automated testing
TODO: implement this (Dieter)

gerbra
- i686/Laptop -> Boot the install ISO-Cd (Thinkpad T22)
- i686/x86_64 -> A free partition on my desktop where i could test full installations on both architectures (February/March 2009)
- i686 -> I will reanimate my old server. I can put an Adaptec SCSI-Controller+HD in, also IDE-Disks. With this i will primary test SCSI and LVM related installations, also possible encryption.
- i686/x86_64 virtualbox and qemu (February 2009)
