Bug#596628: debian-installer: squeeze usb installer doesn't find .iso image
Using files from the same architecture solved the problem for me.
One way of preventing this sort of thing would be to add a little footnote to
the installation guide, in section 4.3.2.2 [1], just after footnote 8, that the
iso image should be for the same architecture as the hd-media files.
The reason I ended up with two different architectures in the first place was
due to the way I clicked through the www.debian.org site, trying to find out
how to install the most recent testing distribution using a USB stick (where I
needed the 'flexible way' of creating a USB stick because the capacity of my
USB stick was only 128 MB, preventing me to use the more convenient boot.img).
Apparently the link to the installation guide automatically brought me to the
i386 version of the manual, whereas I should have needed the amd64 manual.
