It is coming fro the installer and not from the VB.
And it is still doing the install at that point.

.
Very simple and straightforward process:
1. Downloaded mini.iso.
2. Created a VM with 4G of RAM and 500G HDD.
3. Started the install
4. In the first menu selected "Advanced Options", then "Expert Install"
5. Follow thru the {install} menu. On the "Choosing a mirror..." ,
selected "sid - unstable"
6. Got an error about "The installation media do not seem to contain a
valid Release file, or that file
could not be read correctly". I presume that this is OK, since
mini.iso contains only a boot image
and not really a full blown install.
7. Next got following error:
"Installation step failed."
