Comment/Problems :
When i boot on my USB Key with UEFI mode, i have already this message during 1 second => Error : prefix is not set.
After it, the installer's main menu appears with the differents options like "Install/Graphic Install/Expert Install" etc...

The problem is here when i choose one of these options. For all installation options, i have a black screen when i chose it and i can't continue the Wheezy installation.

This problem appears only if the UEFI mode is enabled in the BIOS. If i use the USB Key to install Wheezy with UEFI disabled, the installation works without problem.

Thanks for having taken the time to report this issue with UEFI in
Debian 7 ("Wheezy").

During last years, UEFI support has improved and we believe this bug is
likely to be solved in the current stable version of Debian 8 ("Jessie")
or in the upcoming Debian Stretch.

I'm thus closing this bug report. If you can reproduce this issue with
Debian 8 installer[1] or better with the release candidate installer for
the upcoming Debian Stretch[2], please file a new bug report.

Thanks again for your contribution!
