I think there may be a problem in reading the USB stick if you just used dd to write a DVD1 image to USB.
You may be able to loop mount the USB stick as a DVD image at which point you can pick up files from inside the DVD
or mount it as a source to apt-get update from.
I've got one next door that I prepared earlier - I may give it a go to see what can be done :)
All the best,
