Looks like you may also have to borrow a .dtb from linux 4.9.x: https://packages.debian.org/search?suite=experimental§ion=all&arch=armhf&searchon=contents&keywords=sun8i-h3-nanopi-neo.dtb Just copy that onto the debian-installer media in the dtbs directory. Not sure if it'll work, but if it does, you might want to request a backport of it to the linux kernel packages.
