Try making your bootable USB with unetbootin.

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:

a 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?
