This is a Zotac zbox id-6 - dual core AMD, iwlwifi, realtek 8169, Radeon. The installer reports that iwlwifi firmwre is needed and realtek firmare is also needed. In fact, the realtek firmware is not needed - the wired interface works fine without it to install, so it's fine to skip installation of non-free firmware when first prompted. A standard install / expert install will allow you to complete the install properly. An automated install - whether command line or graphical - locks up waiting for firmware. The syslog shows that it goes through about three cycles and fails waiting for the non-free realtek firmware. I haven't got syslog to hand - but I could reproduce this on the CLI automatated install and also on the graphical automated install. On first boot after install, systemd reports that firmware-iwlwifi is needed as is Radeon firmware for the R600. Firmware-realtek, firmware-iwlwifi and firmware-linux-nonfree provide the firmware needed.
