Whereas boot from USB is (nowadays, wasn't always) comon among 
IBM-compatible PCs, that is not common among ARM devices, and it is not 
supported on Allwinner A64 SoC used in (current release of) Teres-I.

Here is the technical details: https://linux-sunxi.org/BROM#A64

...or more accurately an USB-based "FEL" mode exists but is... complex. 
If you really want to try that route (not recommended!) then see also 
https://linux-sunxi.org/FEL and if not yet scared off check how to 
enable it at https://linux-sunxi.org/Olimex_Teres-A64#FEL_mode

In short, you really _really_ want netinstall from MicroSD!

Teres-I is not yet supported by debian-installer yet - the closest 
approximation I know of is achieved using my build framework.  It's been 
a while since I tested the netinstall image builds myself (as you know I 
have been super busy refining the the prebuilt images that you have been 
using) but it should be something like this:

  git clone https://salsa.debian.org/tinker-team/box
  make images/d-i/core_teres1-teres1-buster.img.gz
