The installation has destroyed the original fstab but something like /dev/disk1-1something was mounted as /boot. This is sda1 under another name but config-debian does not recognise this. To get config-debian to work, /boot must be unmounted by 'umount /boot' and /dev/sda1 (re)mounted as /boot instead using 'mount /dev/sda1 /boot' This leaves /boot looking exactly the same as before, but config-debian excecutes correctly and the installation process can be started.
