Debian does work, but the installer must be booted manually as per the
guide.

32-bit (install):

set root='usb0'
linux /install.386/vmlinuz quiet
initrd /install.386/initrd.gz
boot

32-bit (graphical install):

set root='usb0'
linux /install.386/vmlinuz quiet
initrd /install.386/gtk/initrd.gz
boot

64-bit (install):

set root='usb0'
linux /install.amd/vmlinuz quiet
initrd /install.amd/initrd.gz
boot

64-bit (graphical install):

set root='usb0'
linux /install.amd/vmlinuz quiet
initrd /install.amd/gtk/initrd.gz
boot

This is according to what I see in gtk.cfg, amdgtk.cfg, txt.cfg and
amdtxt.cfg in /isolinux/ for the 32/64 dual ISO linked on debian.org
home page.

Does this work for you?
