ok, thanks. I didn't see a mapping for ":" at the above link, so I
wasn't able to specify the apt repository http://ftp.ports.debian.org
I retried the installation after adding
"keyboard_sends_linux_keycodes=1" to the kernel boot options, as
recommended at the above link. The installation still failed. So I'll
need to look more for a complete mapping to find the correct ":" character.
