3) does the Debian install process still re-boot after installing the base system? If so, you could try setting the boot parameters to GRUB when it boots by pressing ESC to cancel the timeout, then e to edit the boot commands. Try adding "vga=791" (for 1024x768) to the end of the "kernel" line.
Might be of some use?
