I tried to install jessie using the hd-media installer.

First while partitioning btrfs was not available as a filesystem option.

I opend a command prompt, unmounted the partition and created a new
filesystem using mkfs.btrfs -f -L rootfs -m single /dev/sda1
that seemed to work. Than I tried to mount this filesystem again with
mount -t btrfs /dev/sda1 /target and got an errormessage that the
filesystem could not be mounted. Sorry, I do not no the exact error
because I rebooted the system several times to figure out how to get
it done.

A workaround is to install wheezy (its installer recognizes the btrfs)
and than do a dist-upgrade to jessie.

Since this is going to the installer team, I also have a question or
suggestion: Is there a way to give the hd-media installer a hint which
..iso image to use? If not, that would be a great option if one has
multiple installer versions and multiple .iso images on the disk. The
installer could still fall back to scanning for an .iso image.
