Hi, good to know.

I used the install73.img, and after dd'ing it to the USB drive I did
create the vendor folder to the FAT volume labeled BOOT. The installation
couldn't find the sets on the usb drive, I got it to install using a
separate usb ethernet and http for the sets.

After reading this I tried using miniroot73.img as well. Same result. No
ethernet at all.

After reading here I changed, but nothing new.
