The only way I can think of would be to install debian through ssh and
recorde your terminal session.
The below link don't use text mode but should give you an idea on how to
install remotely! :)
https://blog.sleeplessbeastie.eu/2015/10/12/how-to-install-debian-remotely/
To enter expert mode in text mode you would pass 'priority=low' as
kernel boot parameter ('install DEBIAN_FRONTEND=text priority=low'):
https://www.debian.org/releases/stable/i386/ch05s03.html.en
This part is untested; to recorde your terminal session you could use
the script utility:

As an aside:
The section 5.4.6 (reporting Installation Problems) might give some
hints on where the issue lies!:
