Check your /boot/grub/grub.cfg file for any reference to the missing
drive. Perhaps the configuration contains an error or the entries were
commented out for some reason.

I tried the beta1 mini.iso again myself. The graphical desktop
environment option installed Gnome for me. Did you select any other
special option?

I can log in succesfully as root on a console. It's generally not a
good idea to log in as root in the GUI. On gNewSense 2 members of the
admin group may gain root privileges. On Parkes the same goes for the
sudo group.

Excellent.

Will be announced on this list.
