The "linux" command still produces the "file not found" error message.

To check for bad USB stick, I downloaded debian-12.8.0-amd64-DVD-1.iso and built 
a new 12.8 USB installation stick using command

  dd if=debian-12.8.0-and64-DVD-1.iso of=/dev/sdj1 bs=4M && sync

I tried booting this and got to a GRUB command line.  This time ls -l reports 
that (hd0) has "no known filesystem detected", although (hd0,msdos1) reports 
"File system type ISO9660. Label Debian 12.8.0 amd64 1".

It seems to me that the GRUB command line comes from the T5820 BIOS and not from 
the USB stick. To test this I restarted and hit F2 to get to the BIOS Setup. 
This reports Boot sequence: 1) debian, 2) UEFI SMI USB DISK 110 (Windows Boot 
manager is excluded).  The boot option is UEFI.  It's the mention of "debian" by 
the BIOS itself which says to me that the T5820 contains a GRUB.
