base-installer: info: Setting do_initrd='yes'.
base-installer: info: Setting link_in_boot='no'.

P.S., a few days ago I tried and expert install, and recall a question,
Name: base-installer/initramfs-tools/driver-policy
Type: select
Choices: generic: include all available drivers, targeted: only include
drivers needed for this system
Description: Drivers to include in the initrd:

But I recall no matter how I answer it, it didn't make a bootable
system.
