It ain't, if you consider timezones. For instance, I've created a file
with the unix timestamp set to epoch on a system configured wi

More we cannot expect from this setup.
The next experiment would be to create a new partition of type 0xef
(1MiB, with no filesystem on it, should be ok) and to copy the file
/boot/grub/efi.img, which is actually a FAT filesystem image.
Then one wo

The main difference is that copying to /dev/sdX overwrites the MBR and
the partition tables, while copying to /dev/sdXn keeps the partitioning

Hi,
i made a mistake, of course. This time when copying the ISO:
Wrong: dd if="$image_path" of="$dev" bs=1M
Right: dd if="$image_path" of="$dev"1 bs=1M
If you perform the wrong command, then the parted MBR gets overwritten
by the isohybrid MBR of the Debian ISO.
Have a nice day :)

A copy+paste error indeed. A single "od" would have been right.

A bit pattern widely known to the web.

I executed "hexdump -n 512 /dev/sdX", the command you sent didn't work:

Now i wonder whether the stick already contained MBR code which
would jump on the marked partition or whether gparted installed such
x86 machine code.

Interesting result.
How did you make the MBR of the overall device which then hops onto
the code at the start of the partition ?

Hey,
According to jessie's installation manual (this section ->
https://www.debian.org/releases/jessie/amd64/ch04s03.html.en), in order to
make a bootable USB stick it is necessary to copy the .iso directly into
the device (/dev/sdX), instead of copying it to a partition (e.g.,
/dev/sdb1).
