Comments/Problems:
After I chose the mirror (I tried several and also tried to chose
stable and sid instead of testing via priority=medium) I am shown a
message reading:
No kernel modules were found. This probably is due to a mismatch
between the kernel used by this version of the installer and the
kernel version available in the archive.
If you're installing from a mirror, you can work around this problem
by choosing to install a different version of Debian.
The install will probably fail to work if you continue without
kernel modules. Continue the install without loading kernel modules?
In the console at Alt-F4 I found the line:
"anna[2297] WARNING **: no packages for kernel in archive"
I haven't changed any settings, merely followed the instructions at
http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/amd64/ch04s03.html.en#usb-copy-flexible
and used the daily images.
