Hi, there is an official Debian Installation Guide containing a lot
of useful information.

> Can someone tell me how to get to a virtual terminal in the installer?

Due to the amount of detail in the Installation Guide, it can be hard to find
specific answers, so it's advisable to read the whole thing.

Your specific question is covered in a couple of places:

https://www.debian.org/releases/bookworm/amd64/ch06s01.en.html
(section 6.1 paragraph 10)

https://www.debian.org/releases/bookworm/amd64/ch06s03.en.html#di-miscellaneous
(section 6.3.9.2)

Also, this is a bad time to try to install the 'Testing' distribution.
It is currently undergoing major transition and might well contain
many broken/incompatible packages. See:

https://wiki.debian.org/ReleaseGoals/64bit-time
https://www.mail-archive.com/debian-devel@lists.debian.org/msg380111.html
and ongoing messages in that thread and mailing list
