Whereas boot from USB is (nowadays, wasn't always) comon among IBM-compatible PCs, that is not common among ARM devices, and it is not supported on Allwinner A64 SoC used in (current release of) Teres-I. Here is the technical details: https://linux-sunxi.org/BROM#A64 ...or more accurately an USB-based "FEL" mode exists but is... complex. If you really want to try that route (not recommended!) then see also https://linux-sunxi.org/FEL and if not yet scared off check how to enable it at https://linux-sunxi.org/Olimex_Teres-A64#FEL_mode In short, you really _really_ want netinstall from MicroSD! > The new Debian-Installer worked perfectly fine with an old HP > workstation a couple of weeks ago. > > https://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/ > > I'd love to try it on Teres-I. Teres-I is not yet supported by debian-installer yet - the closest approximation I know of is achieved using my build framework. It's been a while since I tested the netinstall image builds myself (as you know I have been super busy refining the the prebuilt images that you have been using) but it should be something like this: git clone https://salsa.debian.org/tinker-team/box make images/d-i/core_teres1-teres1-buster.img.gz - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private
