netinst image on USB stick asks for cdrom

[Thomas Koch <thomas@koch.ro>]

Hi,

I took todays (2015-04-16 18:20) daily Jessie netinstaller build[1], copied 
the image to an USB stick[2] and started the installation.

At the "Partition disks" step the installer asked me:

"/media/cdrom/:Please insert the disc labeled: 'Debian GNU/Linux Jessie-DI-rc1 
_Jessie_ - Official RC amd64 NETINST Binary-1 2015-01-09-01:04' in the drive 
'/media/cdrom/' and press enter.

Media change
<Go Back>         <Continue>"

Neither "Go Back" nor "Continue" got me away from this screen.

I checked the installation manual. It says in 4.3.1 paragraph one[3] that the 
netinst image could also be used for USB installation.

The problem seems to be present for a longer time[4] and not related to this 
particular daily build?

I have never had this problem with a CD or DVD image on an USB stick. An 
easy workaround might be to put a warning about netinst images in the 
installation manual?
