Well, I fckd up. I should have been careful. Good docs link btw, thank you.
It works. Just want to tell other people to not repartition with hd-media/* images. My initial idea was to nuke existing system. Got to go back to usb approach.
Can somebody share docs to linux vm arguments? I don't like installer do full filesystem search for iso.
If you intend to use the hard drive only for booting and then download everything over the network, you should download the netboot/debian-installer/amd64/initrd.gz file and its corresponding kernel netboot/debian-installer/amd64/linux. This will allow you to repartition the hard disk from which you boot the installer, although you should do so with care.

Alternatively, if you intend to keep an existing partition on the hard drive unchanged during the install, you can download the hd-media/initrd.gz file and its kernel hd-media/vmlinuz, as well as copy an installation image to the hard drive (make sure the file is named ending in .iso). The installer can then boot from the hard drive and install from the installation image, without needing the network.

By the way, in your 40custom example, filenames of kernel and initrd do not match names in the Debian ISO.
I dunno. but anyway I should have downloaded one of hd-media or netboot for this approach
