Ok. First things first, I have been able to setup a new usb for netinst.
But, for future reference on this issue...

Yes, this happens before setting up mirrors

Also, trying to use the installer from boot menu instead of within live
image gave the same type of error, just much faster.

As far as contents of the sources.list, the deb cdrom line that commonly
needs commented out was not there. Sources.list.d was empty.

My only solution was to get netinst.iso, and then run the # cp debian.iso
/dev/sdX command followed by # sync, which was highly finicky as it did not
want to run correctly or recognize host, but it did eventually work.

Now of course my netinst gui installer is telling me bad archive mirror now
matter which one i chose lmao.
