Comments/Problems:
Can't continue network installation because the network card doesn't work:
[ 50.262983] sun4i-emac 1c0b000.ethernet end0: could not find the PHY
[ 50.263036] sun4i-emac 1c0b000.ethernet end0: cannot probe MDIO bus
Can be worked around by manually copying /lib/modules/6.6.13-armmp/kernel/drivers/net/mdio/mdio-sun4i.ko to initrd.
Should probably be fixed by adding mdio-sun4i to debian/installer/modules/armhf-armmp/nic-modules.
