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.
allan grossman <wizard10000@gmail.com> (2017-06-04): (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: https://d-i.debian.org/daily-images/amd64/daily/netboot/mini.iso KiBi.
