I tried that now that I found another (faster) disk to try install on.

The image boots fine, loads its components etc until it gets to choosing mirror.
I entered ftp.ports.debian.org and /devian-ports/, it did not find buster but I selected unstable. It still fails, with the following in the log:

Any idea how to add another key there? apt-key and gpg seem to be missing from the netinst miniroot.
