Title:
Network connectivity required during hd-media installs on several
armel/armhf/arm64 platforms
Text:
On several armel/armhf/arm64 platforms, hd-media based installs
which
a) use only the first CD/DVD and
b) have not been configured to use a network mirror
fail in the "make the system bootable" step. The reason is that
to make the system bootable, those platforms require the
u-boot-tools package, which is not available on the first CD/DVD.
If a network mirror has been configured during the installation,
the missing package is downloaded automatically and the
installation succeeds.

Karsten
