So installation disk would be fine.
The only alternative I can think of (from Justin's list)
would be installation image.
Additional benefit would be, that this term seems to be the
most used on the Debian website.
So if users know that term from the website or find it there, they can make the connection to the messages in d-i,
if in doubt what is meant.
What do you think?
