Bug#596628: debian-installer: squeeze usb installer doesn't find .iso image

[Joris Mooij <joris.mooij@tuebingen.mpg.de>]

I encounter the same bug: I prepared an USB stick with a squeeze debian installer,
following the instructions at http://d-i.alioth.debian.org/manual/en.i386/ch04s03.html#usb-copy-flexible

I used the files from http://http.us.debian.org/debian/dists/squeeze/main/installer-i386/current/images/hd-media/
and the iso image http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/daily-builds/daily/arch-latest/amd64/iso-cd/debian-testing-amd64-businesscard.iso
(daily build #3 on Fri Sep 17, 2010)

The installer booted from the USB and then gets stuck at the point where it tries to load the iso image,
complaining that it cannot find it, similarly to the way described by Miles.

Actually, looking at the URLs where I got the files, maybe the cause of the failure is that
the hd-media files are for the i386 architecture, whereas the iso image is for amd64?

I'll try whether it helps using the same architecture for both...

I'll report whether this solves the issue.
