The instructions in the manuals at http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/installmanual would appear to be a more suitable source of information for your task. You will need a kernel and initrd from a hd-media directory, which you can get to via the Network boot section at http://www.debian.org/distrib/netinst Usually, an install from hard disk is undertaken because booting from an ISO on a USB stick is impossible or fraught.

Sorry, I'm not prepared to debug this, A normal hard disk install offers to look only on a hard disk (this includes an attached USB stick) for an ISO. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
