Interesting I have never had this happen with any of my installations so far 6 machines fully running and functional..
First off was their internet connected to the machine? Dial is a network installation setup I wish they had a full setup version that didn't require internet but so far havent seen one.. 

Another issue i ran into is the username and password this is common one 

username: root
password: debian


The way i read this it almost sounds like it was unable to download the packages from the internet I just did an install test with no internet connection and i got a similar result might double check your internet settings and try again.. Typically I generally swap hard drives when i do an install like this.. This allows me to have about 5 minutes of down time instead of 5 hrs or more..

I am very disappointed with DIAL. quite frank won't install, get a red screen "no root filesystem" error when it attempts install. no way at all to get into a manual set up it appears. AND on the same CD I can install debian jessie vanilla no problem, why? I can chose the settings.

I use a HP server with dual 3.0ghz processors and 5GB ram.

I guess since I have a sever instead of some raspi im just boned eh? if I seem mad its cause I am, I was not happy in wasting 5 hours today plus fuel costs to the repeater site fighting this.

No offense, but making it 100% automatic creates problems and is a horrible idea IMO
