I made a solution to deploy a custom master page (a WSP file).
After I activated the solution, I fired up SPD to make a new page based on the custom master page.
My elements.xml file has:

<Module Name="AddCustomMasterBMW1" Url="_catalogs/MasterPage">
<File Url="customWSPTest1.master" Type="GhostableInLibrary" IgnoreIfAlreadyExists="TRUE">
  <Property Name="ContentType" Value="$Resources:cmscore,contenttype_masterpage_name;"></Property>
</File>

My issue is how do I surf to this custom master page in SPD to select the master page to use?
The custom master page is in the DB, i assume, so how do I tell SPD to use it?

    In SPD, navigate to _catalogs/masterpage. Right click on the customWSPTest1.master and select Set as Custom Master Page. That said, I actually find it easier to use the browser. Go to Site Settings, click Master page under Look and Feel, and change the Site Master Page to customWSPTest1.master.
