I only followed that from afar, but I suspect the difference between
both installations is that netinst embeds init-system-helpers 1.64 (in
testing at the time the image was built), while netboot pulls 1.65.2
(in testing currently).

For the actual debootstrap issue, see #1020426 (NMU on the way).

Bug#1020717: installation-reports: bookworm alpha1 netboot install FAILED on basesystem install / usrmerge

[Holger Wansing]

Package: installation-reports


NOTE:
Please note that an installation with alpha1 NETINST image on the same hardware
worked fine today (see #1020708).

Now, testing the bookworm alpha1 NETBOOT image on IBM T60 Thinkpad
(i386 hardware), that failed during base system install:





Debootstrap warning
Warning: failure while configuring required packages.



Debootstrap warning
Warning: see the log for details.



Base system installation error
The debootstrap program exited with an error (return value 1).

Check /var/log/syslog or see virtual console 4 for the details.



Failed to install the base system
The base system installation into /target/ failed.

Check /var/log/syslog or see virtual console 4 for the details.



Installation step failed

An installation step failed. You can try to run the failing item again
from the menu, or skip it and choose something else. The failing step
is: Install the base system




Further info on console 4 shows:
