Ok folks, here's a mindset wrench.

CAN we make a set of fallbacks to allow a certain minimal function allowing a potential "panic" to seek external help?
This help could come from either defaults designed to establish a session with human agents or some AI mimic.
Starting from the point I have left us at where it is taken as not arguable that a Knoppix concept routine set CAN establish a remote session and functional remote console interface, then the external intelligence hopefully could complete the Linux install.

Constructive comments anyone?
