reassign 262043 partman
retitle 262043 does not behave well if no disk is detected
tag 262043 d-i
severity 262043 normal
thanks

This is because the netinst CD image is not designed to be a usable
debian mirror. In lacks udebs for all the disk drive modules that are
compiled into the CD initrds, and since the netboot initrd does not have
any disk drivers, you get none.

It's illogical to try to use the netinst CD as a "mirror" anyway for
offline installs. If you're not online, then the netinst CD does not
install enough of debian to be generally useful. If you use the full CD
it will work ok; there are also plenty of more standard ways to set up a
partial debian mirror.

I'm reassigning this bug to partman as any hangs at 55% are bugs, and as
there's an known bug that it should do something smarter if no disk is
detected.
