I accepted all the default settings except automatic configuration. After stage 1, the system did not boot. I did some poking around, and as far as I can tell this was caused by the extended partition (sda4) being marked as bootable, but not the root partition (sda6). I ran the rescue system, made sda6 bootable and then I was able to boot the system.
