Another reason I do this is when debconf priority is set to low, that'll be number 4 I get asked if I want to have non-free packages available and I do since that makes for a richer debian environment when it comes time to search for and install packages. Without moving the debconf priority to low, you have to edit /etc/apt/sources.list post-install to get the non-free packages searched for later.

Why not stack the deck this time?  After choosing language, why not hit the < key until you get onto the main menu and select save log files and save them to a mounted file system installer will offer /mnt on the hard drive.  Then change the debconf priority to low and once that's been done go back to installing with the next default step on the main menu. This way, the log file will have lots more information in it as to what failed and why.

what is the nitinstaller?
Spelling it correctly will likely help you find the documentation you
need.  It's a "net" installer, as in a minimal boot image that
boot-straps you into the installer.  From there, it downloads the
rest of the bits that it needs over the network (thus
"net-installer").  This is the way I usually install Debian, as it
only downloads the packages I request, rather than downloading a
large install image that may include things that I don't need/want.
