To install Debian I'm using Zalman ZM-VE200. This device allow to attach
ISO image as virtual cdrom. In addition device allow to export it's
internal hdd, so I have cdrom + usb storage with NTFS.
To be able to use virtual cdrom functionality I must use NTFS or exFAT,
but nothing of this is supported by D-I.
