Unclear to me what those entail.
d-i calls the installation medium a "hard disk" quite often.
This machine doesn't have one, or an interface to connect one
(you've no doubt noted the 32G MMC: that's all there is to it).
This is funny more than an error I think,
calling it anything else may well be much more confusing.
