This fails in the middle: cp: cannot stat '/usr/lib/grub/x86_64-efi/*.lst': No such file or directory Apparently, grub-efi-amd64-bin package should be in build depends for this to work. After installing it, I got the resulting mini.iso. Booting it in qemu/kvm works. Now, I guess I should add some kernel parameters. I tried the suggested netcfg/get_hostname=it-works-now (on the kernel command line), - it still asks me about the hostname, offering the default "debian". However, the variable is here (on the text console, env shows it, including child processes so it's definitely here). The same for rescue/enable=true - I see no difference in d-i behavior with or without this kernel parameter. src:rescue uses db_get rescue/enable. How does these parameters makes into debconf? Is it using kernel command line for this stuff? I never used debian-installer so far :) Thanks, /mjt
