Re: Installing Debian on a Minnowboard Turbot with installer on USB stick?

Hi, Rick Thomas reported that the boot process of firmware-buster-DI-alpha2-amd64-DVD-1.iso fails with Incorrect CD-ROM detected after it was re-partitioned to GPT. It seems that the software in the initrd of a Debian isohybrid wants a mountable partition with the ISO 9660 filesystem and
