[MinnowBoard] Grub shell when trying to install Debian 8.4

I’m currently testing MinnowBoard Max x64 0.92 firmware with Debian 8.4 (multi-arch ISO, DVD image). I created the boot drive using a 4GB USB key & Rufus 2.9 in Windows 10. I am installing to an 8GB microSD card with no issues so far. The GRUB menu came up properly, booting to the USB Drive from the Boot Manager in the setup menu.

Thanks … br

it could be the particular usb stick you are using is the problem. i have had a similar issue and it was fixed by using a different usb stick. at the time i thought the usb was not responding fast enough although i have no idea if that was the case.

I would expect the process you used to work. As an alternative, try using Rufus in Windows to create the USB key from the Debian ISO image. https://rufus.akeo.ie/

I used the Universal USB Installer in Windows 7 to create the USB and tried it manually (Unpacking the ISO and copying to the USB and setting it bootable). Besides the netboot ISO I used the standard ISO as well (the small one without a desktop environment). It all resulted in the same problem.

On the USB is a grub.cfg file, can I point grub manually there via some command?
