In 4.3.1. Preparing a USB stick using a hybrid CD or DVD image [1] it says:
# cp debian.iso /dev/sdX # sync Unfortunately i used /dev/sdb1 spenting a couple of hours trying to figure out why my mobo would boot my usb flash with the debian image resulting in the thread: ''USB bootable debian stick wont boot on 890FXA-GD65 mobo''[2] in the debian-user list where after some messages a friend send me an analytical example [3] understanding my error which in short was that i wrote the image to a partition not to the whole drive. So i think that it'd be helpfull the aforementioned 4.3.1 paragraph to have a warning of caution to use the name of disk not partition. I know that in better days with less fatique and more time i could have think of my mistake but under pressure i blindly followed the manual substituting the 'X' with what ever i like.
