Package: debian-installer Severity: wishlist I have an old USB key which does not seems to be easily supported by d-i (stretch alpha 6 tested).
USB key preparation: $ wget http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/stretch_di_alpha6/powerpc/iso-cd/debian-stretch-DI-alpha6-powerpc-netinst.iso $ sudo dd if=debian-stretch-DI-alpha6-powerpc-netinst.iso of=/dev/sdb bs=4M $ sudo sync Unplug USB key, plug into Mac Mini G4. Boot. Press Ctrl+Cmd+o+f. Start yaboot: > boot usb0/disk@1:2,\\yaboot Then use 'install32' After a couple of step, d-i should fail the 'find CDROM' step. Workaround: 1. Physically unplug the USB key. 2. Replug the USB key 3. Go to Screen 2 (Ctrl+2) 4. mkdir /tmp/bla 5. mount /dev/sdb /tmp/bla 6. umount /tmp/bla Then go back to main screen (Ctrl+1) the CDROM can be found again ! Using a newer USB key I cannot reproduce this bug. I have been running dozens of `badblocks` to check the old key and it seems very reliable...
