I have only the list of drives, installing the base system fails because
before "Configure and mount partitions " fails => "No partitions
were found in
your system". There are just an access to drives before this error.
Nevertheless I can mount manually partitions but the new d-i see nothing.
I think that somehow it's related to that drive being a zip, but I
really don't know.
Would you try this for me?
Mount the zip on /target. Then go back to the menu and select Install
Base. I'm not sure if it will let you do that or not, but I'm beginning
to think that it should.
