With amd64-netinst ISOs, all three of /dev/sdX{,1,2} should be mountable. sdX and sdX1 will appear identical as they both start at sector 0. sdX2 is FAT because it's the EFI partition. Obviously arm64-DVD ISOs might differ somewhat, but my question is whether, having written the ISO to sdl, did you try and boot from it, or did you mystify yourself by trying to mount the partitions and then abandon the process in favour of: > Now writing it to /dev/sdl1. which is an odd thing to do.
