| Aug 1, 2018 at 11:23 | comment | added | Pietro | @A.B - I had to copy the ISO to a USB stick from a Windows machine, so I used Rufus. The USB stick boots correctly. In expert mode I have exactly the same installer main menu, i.e. I cannot bypass the CD. | |
| Jul 31, 2018 at 17:32 | comment | added | A.B | (on debian) 1/ if the iso is copied verbatim (using dd) on usb, the usb should still boot and a cd should still be detected during install 2/ else you can try starting the installer in expert mode and see if you can bypass the cd entirely | |

| Jul 31, 2018 at 16:26 | comment | added | Pietro | On the USB key there are no ISO files (I have an isolinux directory). I created the contents from the devuan_ascii_2.0.0_amd64_dvd-1.iso file. I think at this point the ISO file should not be needed any more... | |

| Jul 31, 2018 at 16:14 | comment | added | Stephen Kitt | “from CD” really means “from ISO image”, wherever that is — on a physical CD or on a USB key as is your case. If you look at the contents of the installation USB key, you should see an ISO image somewhere; that’s what the installer is looking for. The logs should tell you where it’s looking. | |
| Jul 31, 2018 at 16:07 | comment | added | Pietro | The problem is that I have neither a CD nor a CD drive, so I cannot go beyond that step. I am copying some logs in the original question... | |
| Jul 31, 2018 at 15:54 | comment | added | Stephen Kitt | It’s worth noting that some installation menu entries appear after the “Load installer components from CD” step has completed. I think this includes the partitioning step. Look at the console (Alt+F4) to see details of what the installer is doing when it looks for the ISO image. | |
