Install base system: [E]
Install boot loader: [ ]
Reboot: [ ]
[O] = OK, [E] = Error (please elaborate below), [ ] = didn't try it
Comments/Problems:
1. Boot - I attached an ancient IBM VGA monitor for the installation since
it would run headless afterwards. When entering just "net" at the boot:
prompt, the kernel would load correctly, but the monitor would show garbage
once d-i started. D-I's colors were distinguishable on the screen, but I
believe the sync frequency was too high for this monitor. Perhaps disable FB
by default, since it doesn't appear to be used by the installer in any
special way?
2. While it was downloading the base system packages (window title
"Retrieving Packages"), it intermittently printed the literal "Verifying
%s..." instead of substituting the current package name for %s.
3. "Base system installation error" - Main display read "The debootstrap
program exited with an error (return value 127)." and suggested looking at
the log. Here is the tail of /target/var/log/debootstrap.log:
----------deboostrap.log:
Setting up libtextwrap1 (0.1-1) ...
Setting up tasksel (1.40) ...
Errors were encountered while processing:

FB is necessary for multi-byte charsets like japanese. So FB will stay
default, but the framebuffer=false switch is now documented on the
boot-screen.

Should be fixed now.

This seems to be bug #225741 which is fixed.
Your installation report has been analyzed and will now be closed.
Thanx for your report!
