Package: installer
Version: Wheezy
Severity: important

--- Please enter the report below this line. ---
Wheezy amd64 7.9.0 DVD, optical drive with DVD on SATA9 port on the main board, 
another optical drive on SATA8. All other drives removed, also no USB sticks 
around.

Installation progress is ok until "Configure apt". This shows a red screen. No 
question for additional DVDs ..., you can go on, installation also does not 
write grub and is not usable.

Took me some tries and wasted some media since I thought the image might be 
bad, then switched the cables, and guess what, the installation works. 

Looks like that for some reason the installer during "Configure apt" tries to 
read the other drive that has the lower port number and may be the higher 
priority and naturally fails since the DVD remains in the other drive. 

I would expect that the installer keeps the information which drive hosts the 
installation media. 

Hope my description is sufficient.

Best regards, Rolf
