Try repeating that when installing on bare metal without a monitor. The lack of serial console support is a very long standing bug in the Debian installer. See for example https://bugs.debian.org/309223 opened 15 years ago, and closed 10 years ago without any attempt to fix the problem. The bug has been carefully forward ported from syslinux to grub, keeping the intended(?) non-working default. I believe most users have given up. After all, you rarely need to install Debian more than once one a system. And you easily live with having to modify the installer slightly. Bjørn
