Ok, in the meantime, i came to similar conclusions and found that the
USB-stick i was using, had consistent read errors at the first 2
gigabytes after having been used for years as memory extension in my
router. Fixed that and will replace the stick.

*should* is the correct word. The board being over 10 years old, it does
not offer USB booting, no way. It is an early server board that supports
