Okay, I've tried that, but this is now happening:

$ wget http://people.debian.org/~joeyh/d-i/images/daily/hd-media/boot.img.gz
$ wget http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/daily-builds/daily/arch-latest/i386/iso-cd/debian-testing-i386-netinst.iso
# su
# zcat boot.img.gz > /dev/sdb
# mkdir x
# mount /dev/sdb x
# cp debian-testing-i386-netinst.iso x/
cp: writing `x/debian-testing-i386-netinst.iso': No space left on device


And this does this look right?

# fdisk -l

This doesn't look like a partition table
Probably you selected the wrong device.

Partition 1 has different physical/logical beginnings (non-Linux?):

Partition 1 has different physical/logical endings:
     phys=(906, 97, 3) logical=(132557, 11, 23)
Partition 1 does not end on cylinder boundary.

Partition table entries are not in disk order
