By the way, this would be it, I guess: https://github.com/ventoy/Ventoy/releases/download/v1.0.91/ventoy-1.0.91-linux.tar.gz > or it is blocked here?? Maybe, but I don't think so. This is the official general page: https://github.com/ventoy/Ventoy/releases It's just GitHub, so, it should work as with any other project. Best regards!

I agree. And apparently it's already in AUR, nix and SliTaz repos: https://repology.org/project/ventoy/versions It would be nice to know if it's a viable candidate for Debian repos. :) Kind regards!

The machine firmware looks for the existence of boot entry points. In case of x86: El Torito Catalog for optical media.

It only has El Torito but neither MBR nor ESP: $ xorriso -indev FreeBSD-13.1-RELEASE-i386-bootonly.iso -report_el_torito plain -report_system_area plain ... El Torito catalog : 19 1 El Torito images : N Pltf B Emul Ld_seg Hdpt Ldsiz LBA El Torito boot img : 1 BIOS y none 0x 0x00 4 20 El Torito img blks : 1 4 xorriso : NOTE : No System Area was loaded $ So it will boot only from optical medium and only by Legacy BIOS, not by EFI.

The MBR code is supposed to strat the boot procedure from USB stick on EFI. The MBR partition table indicates the presence of a GPT partition table. GPT partition 2 bears the type GUID of an EFI System partition. (Obviously there is no GPT backup table at the end of the ISO image. That's not compliant to GPT specs, but should not hamper booting.)

Thanks! It doesn't say you can do that with the i386 architecture, only amd64: "bootonly This supports booting a machine using the CDROM drive but does not contain the installation distribution sets for installing FreeBSD from the CD itself. You would need to perform a network based install (e.g., from an HTTP or FTP server) after booting from the CD. Additionally, this can be written to a USB memory stick (flash drive) for the amd64 architecture and used to do an install on ↑ machines capable of booting off USB drives. It also supports booting into a "livefs" based rescue mode. There are no pre-built packages." Cheers, David.
how to create bootable usb stick from iso file
in debian, it is as easy as copying iso file to usb device (/dev/sdx), run sync to be safe does this method work for other iso file? http://ftp.funet.fi/pub/unix/FreeBSD/releases/ISO-IMAGES/13.1/FreeBSD-13.1-RELEASE-i386-bootonly.iso i can't boot it created this way. what's wrong with it? Thanks!
