The d-i has a shell available. The file is /target/etc/fstab so
no difficulty there.

What some people *might* find difficult is fiddling with the home
directory before the inital reboot because it's created so late
in the process. However, there is a trick: when you are asked
whether the clock is on UTC, press GoBack at that point, because
the home directory has just been created (on /target of course).

Cheers,
David.
