Ah, that's possibly what your request is about that I still have
standing out. I don't think I've ever installed Debian using d-i,
you've got much more uptime when doing it from a running system.
In this case I simply started from my plain Debian install (actually
Ubuntu). Add another disk, create lvm on that, copy whole system over
to lvm. Boot new system with / on lvm using old /boot on plain disk.
Some playing with lvm, mkinitrd and grub2 is required here.
Then play with grub2's /boot device and ordering of modules until it
will also boot from the new copied /boot on lvm. Trash old plain disk.
Greetings,
Jan.
