I have not had time to look into this issue, but believe it maybe related to a known issue No. 3 on: https://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/9.0.1-live/amd64/iso-hybrid/ https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=864955 After the live 9.0.0 ISO failed early in install and now the 'su' issue. This raises questions about the testing and QA of of the live ISO images, both pre release and at release time that need to be discussed and addressed in-order to avoid them in the future.
