Unfortunately, the USB image from the website also does not boot. The BIOS error
is the same: "Boot error". I assume that this image is not corrupt! Perhaps the
problem is at the dd stage?

Has anyone been successful in getting a stock image to boot after transferring
it to a USB stick using "dd if=binary.img of=/dev/sda" ?

Does dd need an offset?
