Dear Maintainer,

When installing Debian Unstable from mini-iso the manual partitioner does not
allow you to select which disk to partition.  It would only allow me to
partition the flash drive from which I booted the installer.

Guided partitioning allowed me to select the correct disk, but the manual
installer should be able to select a disk other than the one booted from.

(No need to use this tag for d-i maintained packages.)

You definitely should be able to do that. I'm suspecting a module/kernel
mismatch since we didn't update d-i-n-i since January. Can you please
check your syslog?

In the meanwhile, you can fetch a mini.iso from a mirror:
http://ftp.fr.debian.org/debian/dists/stretch/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/mini.iso

or another one based on unstable udebs:
