Take a ISO that does boot and where the partitioner works (that part should be easy). bootstrap-base failed upon me when installing, so what I did was a debootstrap into /target within the d-i environment, then chrooting into it. Do not run tasksel. Then install a kernel (7.2 seems to be the safe choice here) and grub-pc (i.e. grub2), followed by running update-grub. Then you need to create /etc/fstab yourself. See a sample below, that has to be adjusted to your drive layout. """ proc /proc linprocfs rw 0 0 sys /sys linsysfs rw 0 0 fdesc /dev/fd fdescfs rw 0 0 /dev/ad6s5 / ufs rw 0 1 /dev/ad6s6 none swap sw 0 0 """ Then I'd also suggest a `passwd root' so that you can login in the final installation. Albeit also possible later, you can also setup `/etc/network/interfaces' in this step. For me `auto nfe0' and `iface nfe0 inet dhcp' were sufficient. A reboot later you should be able to boot into 7.2. Disclaimer: this was on bare hardware and I did not try to preserve multiple OSes on that machine. Kind regards, Philipp Kern -- .''`.
