I decided to “continue without installing a kernel” in hopes that I could get one from the network repo later on.
When it came time to choose a network repo, I had no success trying to tell it that
mirror protocol: http
mirror : ftp.ports.debian.org
directory : /debian-ports/
@Rick:
Was (1) the information just not accepted or (2) was there no dialogue
option to enter that information?
@Adrian:
choose-mirror seems to have regressed in some way that it doesn't work anymore even with
the correct mirror data.
But the corresponding file hasn't been touched since 2017 (see [1]). Why
did it then work with older images (tested working both in normal and
expert installation mode with the images from 2018-05-18 for both
powerpc and ppc64 during development of my recent patches for
d-i/grub-installer)?
