Ah, maybe not. Sorry, should have been clearer - please check the "sid" variant: http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/daily-builds/sid_d-i/20121213-3/amd64/iso-cd/debian-testing-amd64-netinst.iso If you've tested the "wheezy" netinst, that will have an older d-i build on it. The grub.cfg file is generated using data from d-i, including video mode. Cheers, -- Steve McIntyre, Cambridge, UK.
