[PVE-User] 0.9beta2 minor problems

Currently the only supported way is using the install media and change more or less nothing on the command line. This is the only way to track issues and keep a reliable system which can be updated without any issues.
The mentioned Debian task package is on the roadmap, means it not done yet - as there are some issues which has to be solved first.

Just to mention: 
we compiled and tested around 20 different Kernels for beta2 to identify the most stable for Proxmox VE - and installed on these server multiple OS, windows and linux with all different settings (SCSI device, IDE, network, virtio, mulitprozessor KVM guests etc.)

Many thanks here to the whole development team and very important, the testing team installed hundreds Proxmox VE server VM´s the last weeks.

So why do I mention this here?
You can use and compile a non Proxmox VE Kernel, install custom Debian Etch. But then you lose some of this tested stability.

LVM is by default, hardware RAID also. Softraid makes no sense for the default.
New in beta2: Installer: added 'swapsize' and 'maxroot' boot parameters.
