Rufus' "dd" mode is known to be suitable.
The displayed size of /dev/sdb1 matches what i would expect from a correct
plain copy.
So i think this part succeeded.

  https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/ports/snapshots/2019-07-03/debian-10.0-powerpc-NETINST-1.iso
was made by genisoimage with the old layout:
- CHRP partition in MBR (size 363810 KiB) starting at LBA 0,
- a single Apple partition (size 363802 KiB) with HFS (not HFS+),
- APM block size is 512 (i.e. the HFS might be mountable by Linux).

Can the installed system mount the 10.0.0 ISO from USB stick partition 1 ?


Have a nice day :)
