Partway through installing the base system my monitor loses signal. Section 5.4.4. ofhttps://www.debian.org/releases/stable/amd64/ <https://www.debian.org/releases/stable/amd64/> mentions that "vga=normal nomodeset" could possibly help with a black screen, but this didn't work. I assume the passage meant that the monitor was receiving an invalid signal, not no signal at all, but I thought it was worth trying.
The installer can blank the screen after a while (about 10 minutes, IIRC). Did you press some keys (e.g. the space bar) on the keyboard to turn the screen on again? With kind regards, Roland Clobus
