My assumption (incorrect) was that the ISO had been put on the stick using 'cp debian.iso /dev/sdX' as described at https://www.debian.org/releases/stable/i386/ch04s03.html.en#usb-copy-isohybrid It appears you have used the less common hard disk method of booting with a separate kernel and initrd. The isohybrid nature of the ISO is immaterial in this case. If you stay with the present stick mount the partition the ISO is on: mount /dev/sdXn /media/cdrom Access the contents of the ISO by mounting it with mount /media/cdrom/debian-testing-amd64-DVD-1.iso /mnt In sources.list have deb file:/mnt/debian stretch main contrib
