Hi Carlos, Stefan with Carsten showed me this trick during last m68k meeting back in 2018 at Essen.
On the harddrive/cf card simply write the content of the iSO file to some partition. You can use swap partition - only it will be rewritten during the fist actual boot of Linux. You can do it virtually on anything which understands Amiga partitioning of that drive. dd if=debian.iso of=/dev/sdc bs=512 status=progress During the meeting we actual used Stefan's beautiful Falcon running Debian :) Fire up the amiboot During the setup there will be error as CD-ROM not detected. Load CD-ROM drivers from removable media - YES Manually select a CD-ROM module and device - YES Module needed for accessing the CD-ROM: none Device file for accessing the CD-ROM: /dev/hda2 It worked like a charm.
