Hello Rainer, you're right: If the rest of the installation works well with netboot from USB-Stick, grub-install should do his job, too. And this image should *then* be a valid alternative. But I am unsure, if that can be fixed before the release so it's perhaps something for the errata - state that netboot can't be used on usb sticks.
Ben Armstrong said, the mini.iso is not suitable: http://lists.debian.org/debian-boot/2011/01/msg00899.html (and follow-ups) so please use a netinst.iso To test the installer from a usb-Stick I used hd-media/boot.img.gz (yes you can also use initrd.gz and linux separately) together with the ISO debian-testing-i386-netinst.iso from http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/daily-builds/daily/arch-latest/i386/iso-cd/ Or you could try the hybrid CD alternative and dd the netinst.iso directly to the stick. By the way: You can find the new installation manual at: http://www.debian.org/releases/testing/i386/index.html.en In my eyes the documentation concerning USB-Installs is still very confusing or even inconsistent!
