I am a regular help on the Debian IRC channel, and I can say that I am
not sure unetbootin works for anyone. I have tested once myself, and I
had the same issue has the floods of users on IRC. "failed to find cdrom
devices". For this reason, we push the usb installation method
documented in the install guide.
I replied with a link to the install guide chapter to this thread once
already (this is a dupe).

I personally have never had a problem with unetbootin. I've created
several bootable USB drives with it: Fedora, Ubuntu, Debian and more.
Works great here.

- From what I understand, it works with testing but not stable. I have
also used it with other distributions without issue.

Ah, the only stable install I have is a headless server. All of my
graphical installs are either testing or unstable.

You need to use the cheat code: 'rootdelay=10' it gives more time to
find the file system, I install Debian and all kinds of other Distros,
unetbootin works good, you need to use the cheat code.

+1.* I have mentioned the lack of unetbootin success a few times on this mailing list before myself.* The Debian installation manual, however, has worked 100% of the time for me, including with dvd .iso images (a fat16 boot partition on the usb stick containing the vmlinuz, etc. files, and then an ext3 partition for the dvd .iso image).
