Does the trick of https://askubuntu.com/questions/671159/bootable-usb-needs-cd-rom work for you ? Once I get the "Your installation CD-ROM couldn't be mounted..." message and I'm back at the main Ubuntu Server install screen, I simply plugged the USB thumbdrive out, then plugged it in again, and then after pressing the "detect CD" option, I got "The CD-ROM autodetection was successful... The installation will now continue." ... and so the installation continued. (Actually i suspect that re-trying did the trick, not re-plugging.) Using unetbootin is not the currently recommended way to put a bootable Debian ISO onto USB stick. For GNU/Linux or other Unixes see https://www.debian.org/CD/faq/#write-usb On MS-Windos, the program Rufus in its "dd" mode is supposed to do it right. Have a nice day :) Thomas
