Thank you for trying to reproduce the symptom. I tried * -device virtio-gpu-pci -device usb-kbd * -device virtio-gpu-pci -device vitio-keyboard-pci. with qemu-system-aarch64. On my own built QEMU disk image, in both cases, * On /dev/tty1, arrow keys print ^[[A ^[[B and * on /dev/ttyAMA0 they just print ^[. This symptom is independent of Debian Installer Alpha 3, and looks a bug in qemu-system-arm or linux-image-arm64. So I reassign this to qemu and retitle this. /dev/tty1 is unusable by d-i Alpha 3 with the default kernel command line, and I added "console=tty1" to the kernel command line as I was told at the Debian ARM mailing list. Then I am now able to use arrow keys on the graphical installer! Thanks! This is not an errata of d-i, but adding this workaround "console=tty1" to https://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/errata may be helpful to users. Ryutaroh
