Partition mount without number (mount /dev/sdc /mnt/usb-boot) S5000PAL BIOS, USB Storage Emulation: [Auto] - USB devices less than 530MB will be emulated as floppy. [Forced FDD] - HDD formatted drive will be emulated as FDD (e.g. ZIP drive). I use "Forced FDD" and USB selected in BIOS Boot Manager https://www.debian.org/releases/stretch/amd64/apas02.html.en "Some BIOSes can boot USB storage directly, and some cannot. You may need to configure your BIOS to boot from a “removable drive” or even a “USB-ZIP” to get it to boot from the USB device. For helpful hints and details, see Section 5.1.5, “Booting from USB Memory Stick”. " zcat boot.img.gz > /dev/sdc Jessie boot correctly. Stretch boot correctly with boot.img.gz version 20160106 http://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/stretch/main/installer-amd64/20160106/images/hd-media/boot.img.gz Version from 20170112 print message "Boot error" http://http.us.debian.org/debian/dists/stretch/main/installer-amd64/current/images/hd-media/boot.img.gz Maybe BUG? -- [email protected] <[email protected]>
