Proof. Set $X = \mathop{\mathrm{Spec}}(A)$ and $Y = \mathop{\mathrm{Spec}}(B)$. Choose a finite partition $X = \coprod X_ i$ and $X'_ i \to X_ i$ as in Étale Cohomology, Lemma 59.72.3. The map of topological spaces $\coprod X_ i \to X$ (where the source is the disjoint union in the category of topological spaces) has a section by Topology, Proposition 5.26.6. Hence we see that $X$ is topologically the disjoint union of the strata $X_ i$. Thus we may replace $X$ by the $X_ i$ and assume there exists a surjective finite locally free morphism $X' \to X$ such that $(X' \times _ X Y)_{red}$ is isomorphic to a finite disjoint union of copies of $X'_{red}$. Picture

The assumption on the residue fields of $A$ implies that this diagram is a fibre product diagram on underlying sets of points (details omitted). Since $X$ is extremally disconnected and $X'$ is Hausdorff (Lemma 61.5.6), the continuous map $X' \to X$ has a continuous section $\sigma $. Then $\coprod _{i = 1, \ldots , r} \sigma (X) \to Y$ is a bijective continuous map. By Topology, Lemma 5.17.8 we see that it is a homeomorphism and the proof is done. $\square$
