Bug#688695: installation-reports: install a success, but there were misleading/noninformative navigation messages for text installer



Hi,

[...]

Start screen says "Press ENTER to boot or TAB to edit a menu entry"

That last verb is nonsensical.  Why would you want to "edit" a menu
entry?  I think what is meant here is navigate (as opposed to edit)
menus.  However, I am not sure because the tab key did nothing!  I
actually navigated to the advance options using the arrow key (not the
tab key) and then entered that menu with ENTER (contrary to the above
message which claims that will boot).

to add/edit boot parameters.
More details on these parameters on http://d-i.alioth.debian.org/manual/en.amd64/ch05s03.html.

* "Detect and mount CD-ROM" is misleading when installing from a USB stick
(as I was).  Even the actual successful detection message claimed my
USB stick was a CD-ROM.  This overall menu item should read instead
something like "Detect and mount installation medium (CD-ROM, USB-stick, etc.)

* Same issue with "Load installer components from CD"

It's a CD-ROM image, not a CD-ROM.
