wheezy on Acer Aspire One 725

[Damjan Zemljič <damjan.zemljic@gmail.com>]

Hi,

trying to make USB flash image to install on mentioned hardware, but without success. USB is not recognized as bootable media.
However, the same USB can be used to create Ubuntu flash image, it boots, installs etc.... and it renders unbootable after the update. But that's another - Ubuntu story.

Steps taken:
wget http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/wheezy_di_beta4/amd64/iso-cd/debian-wheezy-DI-b4-amd64-netinst.iso
wget http://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian/dists/testing/main/installer-amd64/current/images/hd-media/boot.img.gz

plugged in USB and assured it is not mounted

zcat boot.img.gz > /path-to-usb-dev

mount & copy iso to usb root folder

Where is the bug?

TIA,
Damjan
