Playing with this has been.. fun.. I guess. I found a
"metadata_csum_seed" culprit in /etc/mke2fs(.)conf. It's in the line
for ext4 which is what I use.
Saw a mention of a patch online. While trying to track that down so
that this is approached in a Linux-defined methodical way, I found
Debian's bugs entry there. Their expressed knowledge of this situation
is why the installer's installation booted on my end a few days ago.
Their mention of debootstrap installs NOT booting for some of us is
exactly what I'm personally experiencing right now.
However this works out, thank you, Developers!
