Does anyone have any workarounds to either:
  a) perform stage 2 of the install in text mode


Try booting to runlevel 3
I've not tried it, but you should


Thanks, this worked wonderfully,
He's up and running now.
(I didn't know this mode/technique existed.)


well, if you didn't know about runlevel 3 then you have a serious amount of reading to do:-)

Then there's the question of how first boot would run if you didn't install any graphics components. Seemed to me that
1. It should work
2. It would start then compain/fail from the lack of graphics support
3. It would not start at all.

Obviously, the first is most desirable, so why not try it? What's to lose, at worst you redo the install (probably more quickly, having had more practice).
