Installer fails in post-install on EeePC 1005HA

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Run Snow Leopard Installer using NBI 0.8.3 RC5
2. Installation stops at "Time remaining: 8 minutes"
3.

What netbook are you using this on?
I'm running this on an EeePC 1005HA

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expect to see the Snow Leopard installer complete. Instead, it appears to
stop with 8 minutes remaining.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
I'm using NBI 0.8.3 RC5 with Snow Leopard 10.6.0

Please provide any additional information below.
When I open the installer log and display errors, I can see the following
problem:
"./postinstall: cp: /Volumes/ramdisk/dsdt/latest_dsdl.dsl: No such file or
device"

The installer then repeats this message endlessly. 

I'm unable to find out how to edit the post-install script to step over
this problem, so at this point my request is for you to fix this.  I see
from forum postings on insanelymac.com that other people with the EeePC
1005HA are also seeing this problem.  

Thanks!

Here are the instructions for solving this problem. I've tried this out my 
1005ha-h
with NetbookBootmaker RC3... you might wanna try this out on the final release 
or RC5...

1000HE having same problems for me as well.  It does appear ok if I restart, 
boot with USB, select my harddrive, then run NBI.  Can't do the generate dsdt 
either from netbook installer.
