Thanks for this information. Unfortunately it didn't work. I re-scaned
the devices but i still get "no USB stick found". Even restarting
sysinstall didn't help

The server has 14 sata disk, controlled via lsi controller as /dev/daX
devices like the usb stick. Could this be a problem?

I will try it with another usb stick.
