I'm understanding what you're saying, but then again I might not be
understanding. Are you saying that it looks like he copied straight to
the device instead of to a mount point? That's what I'm understanding
your words to be saying.

I regularly mount partitions to do debootstrap installs so I do
understand that method. That's how I am a-suming this should be done,
too.

All the times I've done that correctly, I have still.... wasted a
ridiculous amount of time... repeatedly... tracking down the... device
name to use when that's not what we use. *smacking my head (in
hindsight)*

That's an important point that I now wonder how often gets missed
versus caught when people are having problems installing to other
media. I know it never crosses my mind to consciously check off that
specific detail when people are writing about their problems. :)

That's also why people trying to help want to know the *exact* steps a
user took to try to do something. The person helping is not being
nosey. Seeing exact details might just help them catch a whoops such
as that device name standing in place of a mount point.
