Package: installation-guide-amd64
Severity: normal
In Debian GNU/Linux Installation Guide in section 4.3.1 Preparing a USB stick
using a hybrid CD or DVD image [1]
it says:
# cp debian.iso /dev/sdX
# sync
Unfortunately i used /dev/sdb1 spenting a couple of hours
trying to figure out why my mobo would boot my usb flash with
the debian image resulting in the thread:
''USB bootable debian stick wont boot on 890FXA-GD65 mobo''[2]
in the debian-user list where after some messages a friend send
me an analytical example [3] understanding my error which in short
was that i wrote the image to a partition not to the whole drive.
So i think that it'd be helpfull the aforementioned 4.3.1 paragraph
to have a warning of caution to use the name of disk not partition.
I know that in better days with less fatique and more time i could have
think of my mistake but under pressure i blindly followed the manual
substituting the 'X' with what ever i like.
