Bug#666105: [installation-guide] 5.1.4. Booting from USB Memory Stick: No prompt when installing the flexible way



Package: installation-guide
Severity: normal

According to section 5.1.4:

Let's assume you have prepared everything from Section 3.6.2, “Boot Device Selection” and Section 4.3, “Preparing Files for USB Memory Stick Booting”. Now just plug your USB stick into some free USB connector and reboot the computer. The system should boot up, and you should be presented with the boot: prompt. Here you can enter optional boot arguments, or just hit Enter.

This would be nice, but is not actually the case, at least when creating the installation media "the flexible way". The stick just launches d-i automatically with defaults (non-expert install).
