The warning screen popped up telling you that it could not connect and asked if you wanted to choose another mirror. So I wonder if there's anything odd about your network setup, e.g. did you configure an HTTP proxy? Do you have anything like a transparent proxy on your network? No HTTP proxy. I tried it on two networks: my home network (standard router and DHCP) and my university network. Did you stick to the qemu default mode of -net user? That fakes a DHCP service for the guest and uses IPv4 only. Not sure exactly how DNS works in this mode... I tried qemu with two different emulated adapters and both in NAT (fake DHCP) and bridged mode. I tried every emulated network adapter available for virtualbox-ose in both NAT and bridged mode. There may have been some clues in the Alt-F4 console of the installer when the warning popped up. Thanks, I'll try that. It looks like that netcfg fix KiBi mentioned may do it, I'll check that next. ~Scott -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

It looks like that netcfg fix KiBi mentioned may do it, I'll check that next. That bug referred to the net config after first boot. (Where you were having to add 'auto em0' by hand). If you had issues within the installer that is something else. Whatever it is might still have been fixed in more recent install images somehow, so I welcome you to try again. Thanks!

Hi, Scott Howard showard...@gmail.com (08/02/2013): Debian installer cannont connect to debian mirrors while installing kfreebsd-i386 testing .iso on February 8, 2012 on both virtualbox-ose and qemu- kvm.

The warning screen popped up telling you that it could not connect and asked if you wanted to choose another mirror. Thanks for explaining. Although I can't reproduce the issue myself, with beta4 netboot images and picking a random selection of US/UK mirrors. qemu provides a supported em0 device, which was clearly working for you in your installed system (after manually fixing /etc/network/interfaces) So I wonder if there's anything odd about your network setup, e.g. did you configure an HTTP proxy?
