Please tell your terminal program (on the MAC) to use "vt102" terminal emulation.
The debian installer uses ANSI graphics to paint the screens during installation.

You can read more info in section "5.3.1. Boot console" of https://www.debian.org/releases/stable/i386/ch05s03.html.en
Citing here:
- In order to ensure the terminal type used by the installer matches your terminal emulator, the parameter TERM=type can be added.
- Note that the installer only supports the following terminal types: linux, bterm, ansi, vt102 and dumb.
- The default for serial console in debian-installer is vt102.
