bootable-usb-drive.md

I created a bootable usb drive in disk utility

then ran diskutil list to find the identifier

/dev/disk2s1 in my case

make sure to unmount the drive

then dd

sudo dd if=debian-9.6.0-i386-netinst.iso of=/dev/rdisk2 bs=1m

yes, use rdisk....

when booting the asus, press escape to boot from usb

I did not get any of this to work with a sd card. this could be due to not properly formatting the sd card or not booting from the card. I'm not sure the asus will boot from sd, only usb or hdd.
