An unofficial Debian Installer for Pinebook Pro
@danielt: Is the installer meant to work for booting from the USB slots?

After installing to a USB and attempting to boot from it, the Pinebook Pro just powers on with a black screen.
The same happened when I tried to boot my existing SD card installation through a USB slot via an SD-to-USB adapter.

I ask because I'm getting "IO error" when doing `cryptsetup open` on a certain SD card. I don't get the error when using an SD-to-USB adapter, so I'm worried that this is a sign of a failing SD slot. (Pinebook Pro is only 1-year old!) It would be much more reassuring (for recovery purposes) if I can boot from USB instead of SD.
