debian x86 install failed - bootloader-config

For images see viewtopic.php?f=16&t=123831

This is a discussion forum, so I think there is not need for images. Some new users have posted images of their displays which show some error message, which they could have written as well.

But you are free to disagree.

we're getting a little off topic here - I posted a couple of images for good reason,
someone declined to view them "because javascript". I reposted the images.

I'd still like suggestions how to work around the bootloader error.

BTW, isn't there a way to run the install process WITHOUT formatting the disk and installing
a new boot loader?

Of course. The Debian installer offers all these options.

Maybe we're referring to different things as rescue mode. The rescue mode I have seen is one
of the boot options presented from the boot loader.

No, this is "recovery mode". Rescue mode is available in the Debian installer boot menu advanced options.

Tiring of the chase, I just uploaded to my own site.

This is the Calamares installer you can run from a graphic live session. Use the traditional Debian installer instead.

I had other problems running the debian insaller from the cd image. Is the debian installer available from the live boot?

[p.H]

I don't know. I never used a Debian live image.
