I suppose it is possible that there is something peculial about the USB 
drive that I am trying to install to:  Samdung EVO SSD connected via an 
ORICO USB case.  I will try using ann identical USB "pen drive" to the one 
that I wrote the Void Linux Live image.  If so, it would be a pitty as the 
Samsung SSDs are cool.
