OK, I must apologize. Massive confusion here.
You are telling me which of the several kernels
I have that I can boot. But when I wrote "Boot Order"
I was referring to being able to boot first from
the flash drive, then from the DVD drive, and
then, if there isn't a bootable flash drive inserted,
then the BIOS will check if there is a bootable DVD
inserted . . . Only if there is no bootable USB thumb
drive inserted, or a bootable DVD, will the OS move
on to boot one of the kernels you have.
I have a DVD, containing the first DVD of the Debian
jessie, and a USB stick, which I believe contains the
rest of jessie , and I wish to install jessie using
these purchases. But I can't if I can't get anything
to boot except the old wheezy kernels that have been
on my system for ever.
Sorry for the confusion.
Alan
