debian-10.0.0-armhf-netinst.iso, located on this machines main drive,
downloaded from a debian site with FF.

sudo dd if=debian-10.0.0-armhf-netinst.iso bs=4096 of=/dev/sdf1
/dev/sdf1 is an unmounted 64GB PNY u-sd card. Original format NTFS.
Mounting it and reading the directory after the dd write looks like I
think it should, a directory of the iso, not the iso itself.
The rpi4b is being powered from its gpio pins 2=5.11 volts, 6=common from
a canna kit v2.5 amp supply, which may not be enough amps as theres 2
keyboard/mouse dongles in the usb2 ports, and a usb3 hub with two SSD's
plugged into a usb3 (blue port) and a single micro to std hdmi plugged
into hdmi#1. and a net cable from my garage switch plugged into the cat5
jack. No heat sinks, they're someplace between HongKong and WV yet. No
detectable heating, just the red led is lit, green flashes for a very
few milliseconds, once.
This same supply ran a rock64 with all that same stuff plugged in w/o a
problem, running armbian on the rock64.
Dead stable until amanda touched it, crashed. Amanda is the backup
utility of choice here, has been for 20 years now.
Amanda from your repo's crashes all arm64 installs, but thats a separate,
different problem we'll solve later. Probably by building it from src,
I'm used to that. NBD to me.
I have a bigger 4 amp supply but haven't rigged it with output jumpers
yet.
