I used Rufus to burn Debian 9.2 NetInstall ISO to a USB. No matter what 
options I choose on Rufus, I always run into the same problem when 
installing Debian. When it gets to installing GRUB, it hangs at 16% on 
"Looking for other operating systems."

I even tried burning the ISO file to the USB on another computer running 
Debian, using `dd`. Same problem.

When the installation hangs, I press 'Ctrl + Alt + F4' to bring up the 
terminal.  It showed an extremely fast scrolling of errors and messages. I 
used my iPhone to take slow-motion video of the terminal messages as they 
zoomed by.

Here are a few stills showing the messages and errors I get:

file in a directory, but due to some error went in an infinite loop.

I'm running the Debian 9.3 UEFI installation. I rebooted my machine, then 
booted into the installer's rescue mode. The `logs` directory is in 
`/target/EFI/dell/logs/`. When I ran `rm -rf /target/EFI/dell/logs/`, I got 
an error saying it's a read-only directory. 

When I run `cat /proc/mounts`, here's what I got:

How do I fix the `logs/` directory so the Debian installer does not go in 
an infinite loop trying to find files in it?
