Thanks.  Well, the iso file simply wasn't present.  Now I have this.

root@joule:/mnt# md5sum !$
md5sum {d*,i*,v*}
f327723426dc90a4daaf1609595d8306  debian-10.6.0-i386-netinst.iso

Files match but the search still failed.

Apologies for the snapshot but it serves the purpose.

To me, the most relevant notes are "missing firmware" and "devices found: ''".
An old magnetic HDD should be detected by a driver without fancy firmware. 

That leaves "devices found: ''" while files are in (hd0,msdos7).  Does 
the search algorithm work for an extended part?  Ref. 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disk_partitioning#Extended_partition

Depending on replies, I might try the files in (hd1,1).

Thx,                                 ... P.
