I didn't know the existence about the debian-boot mailinglist... Thanks Brian !
We are installing some Debian wheezy on tests servers and we are assuming some issues :
One of them are really annoying :
- We install the system with USB flash drive.
- After booting on it, the USB stick is mounted on /hd-media/
- The .iso image situated in hd-media is loop mounted on /cd-rom/
- After that, the installer umount /hd-media/ and /cd-rom/ is still mounted
1. we need data on USB key to use trunk module
2. we need data on USB key to launch post-install script
It is impossible to remount USB stick on /hd-media/ because it is busy (iso on cd-rom).
We don't know if it is a bug or a normal behavior...
But we need to keep data on USB Stick accessible on the server during all the install process.
Please, we need advice on this case.
Have a good day & enjoy Linux ;-)

Using a methods from either Section 4.3.2. or Section 4.3.3. of the
manual?

Mounting takes place when an ISO is selected.

The unmounting of /dev/sdX actually takes place at the Detect network
hardware stage.

It is not the behaviour with a Squeeze ISO but someone on debian-boot is
likely to know whether the change in iso-scan is intentional. I'd say it
is worth sending a mail there.

1. Provide the data on another USB stick, or
2. Write the ISO to a USB stick as in Section 4.3.1. There is free space
remaining to partition and format.
