X86 (amd64) bullseye stable image won't boot from USB

If you want to install FreedomBox on the internal HDD of the Intel NUC, you have to write the image to the internal disk, like this:

  1. Boot the computer from a Live-USB distribution (like Debian Live)
  2. Download and verify FreedomBox image
  3. sudo dd bs=1M if=freedombox-bullseye-free_all-amd64.img of=/dev/sda conv=fdatasync status=progress where /dev/sda is the internal HDD (this removes all the contents of the HDD)
  4. Boot from the internal HDD and continue with the steps in the manual

I have also installed it on an Intel NUC and so far everything is fine.
