i am trying to install debian unstable on virtualbox. i used the following installation image : http://d-i.debian.org/daily-images/amd64/daily/netboot/mini.iso and chose "expert install" and when asked about debian version chose "unstable. base system is installed correctly. Then i am asked about what kernel i want. I choose latest amd64 kernel, and then i choose "targeted" option for initrd. After these steps the installer givees me a failure output. The screenshot is of the installation console output. I opened another console and gave a df, and saw that my two partitions /dev/sda1 and /dev/sda2 were mounted. I cannot remember now the mountpoints, but if i remember correct, /dev/sda2 which is the / partition was mounted on /target and /dev/sda1 on /target/boot (but i am not sure)or something simular. When i have the time i will test again and give you further info about the mountpoints. I have to mention that the filesystem chosen is ext4 for both partitions and that the same problem happens when i try to install testing with the same installer.
