I just ran a couple of quick tests of what should be a more typical case 
with no different results.

QUESTION:
Has anyone personally used debootstrap to install to a flash drive?

My environment is:
  OS is i386 Debian stable
  DVD is DVD-1 of Debian 9.1.0
  Flash drive has a:
    4 GB ext2 partition
    4 GB swap partition

TIA
