The netboot tarball misses virtio block drivers.
This makes it unnessecary tiresome
to install Debian VMs on not-Internet-connected server.
This is intentional.  netboot is for booting from _network_.  On the
network you got a distribution mirror, otherwise you have problems
installing Debian anyway.

    Hello Bastian,

In fact the VM is actually booting from network, and has access to a distribution mirror (copy of DVD-1 of Debian Buster 10.1), but the debian-installer can't detect VM disk to be partitionned… I don't know very well debian-installer internals, should it downloads a .deb or .udeb for disk modules to be able to detect them ? I saw in previous Debian versions some « virtio-modules » like : virtio-modules-4.9.0-11-amd64-di, containing virtio_blk module, but it doesn't exist in Buster, how the installer is supposed to get it ?

     With regards,

        Fred.
