Partition disks
xvda is the only writeable disk. A separate boot partition can be used, but it should be formatted ext2, ext3, or ext4.
At this step you can select "Guided - use entire disk" here:
┌────────────────────────┤ [!!] Partition disks ├─────────────────────────┐ │ │ │ The installer can guide you through partitioning a disk (using │ │ different standard schemes) or, if you prefer, you can do it │ │ manually. With guided partitioning you will still have a chance later │ │ to review and customise the results. │ │ │ │ If you choose guided partitioning for an entire disk, you will next │ │ be asked which disk should be used. │ │ │ │ Partitioning method: │ │ │ │ Guided - resize Virtual disk 6 (xvdf) and use freed space │ │ Guided - use entire disk │ │ Guided - use entire disk and set up LVM │ │ Guided - use entire disk and set up encrypted LVM │ │ Manual │ │ │ │ <Go Back> │ │ │ └─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
Select xvda:
┌────────────────────────┤ [!!] Partition disks ├─────────────────────────┐ │ │ │ Note that all data on the disk you select will be erased, but not │ │ before you have confirmed that you really want to make the changes. │ │ │ │ Select disk to partition: │ │ │ │ Virtual disk 1 (xvda) - 3.2 GB Xen Virtual Block Device │ │ Virtual disk 5 (xvde) - 1.1 GB Xen Virtual Block Device │ │ Virtual disk 6 (xvdf) - 5.4 GB Xen Virtual Block Device │ │ │ │ <Go Back> │ │ │ └─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
Install the GRUB boot loader on a hard disk
Select yes for simplicity, though we will instead install the package "pv-grub-menu" in a later step.
┌──────────┤ [!] Install the GRUB boot loader on a hard disk ├──────────┐ │ │ │ The following other operating systems have been detected on this │ │ computer: Debian GNU/Linux (7.6) │ ┌│ │ ││ If all of your operating systems are listed above, then it should be │ ││ safe to install the boot loader to the master boot record of your │ ││ first hard drive. When your computer boots, you will be able to │ ││ choose to load one of these operating systems or your new system. │ ││ │ └│ Install the GRUB boot loader to the master boot record? │ │ │ │ <Go Back> <Yes> <No> │ │ │ └───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
Finish the installation
Select "<Yes> for clock set to UTC:
┌────────────────────┤ [!] Finish the installation ├────────────────────┐ │ │ ┌│ System clocks are generally set to Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). │ ││ The operating system uses your time zone to convert system time into │ ││ local time. This is recommended unless you also use another operating │ ││ system that expects the clock to be set to local time. │ ││ │ ││ Is the system clock set to UTC? │ └│ │ │ <Go Back> <Yes> <No> │ │ │ └───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
Select "<Go Back> at the end of the installation:
┌───────────────────┤ [!!] Finish the installation ├────────────────────┐ │ │ ┌│ Installation complete │ ││ Installation is complete, so it is time to boot into your new system. │ ││ Make sure to remove the installation media (CD-ROM, floppies), so │ ││ that you boot into the new system rather than restarting the │ ││ installation. │ ││ │ └│ <Go Back> <Continue> │ │ │ └───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
Select "execute a shell":
┌─────────┤ [!] Debian installer main menu ├─────────┐
│ │
│ Choose the next step in the install process: │
│ │
│ Set up users and passwords │
│ Configure the clock ▒ │
│ Detect disks ▒ │
│ Partition disks ▒ │
│ Install the base system ▒ │
│ Configure the package manager ▒ │
│ Select and install software ▒ │
│ Install the GRUB boot loader on a hard disk ▒ │

│ Continue without boot loader ▒ │
│ Finish the installation ▒ │
│ Change debconf priority ▒ │
│ Save debug logs │
│ Execute a shell ▒ │
│ Abort the installation │
│ │
└────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
Perform the following at the shell prompt:
chroot /target apt-get install -y pv-grub-menu
If you made a separate boot partition in the "Partition disks section", for example:
│ Virtual disk 1 (xvda) - 3.2 GB Xen Virtual Block Device ▒ │ │ > #1 primary 126.9 MB f ext4 /boot │ │ > #3 primary 2.9 GB f ext4 / ▒ │ │ > #5 logical 184.5 MB F swap swap ▒ │
Then perform the following step before leaving the chroot:
cd /boot ln -s . boot
Finally type 'exit' until you leave the shell and then select "Finish the installation" , this time selecting " <Continue>" at:
┌───────────────────┤ [!!] Finish the installation ├────────────────────┐ │ │ ┌│ Installation complete │ ││ Installation is complete, so it is time to boot into your new system. │ ││ Make sure to remove the installation media (CD-ROM, floppies), so │ ││ that you boot into the new system rather than restarting the │ ││ installation. │ ││ │ └│ <Go Back> <Continue> │ │ │ └───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
