Baremetal install/ ISO not bootable

Post by tjohnson2456 » Fri Aug 05, 2022 5:14 pm

I'm trying to follow the instructions to install a baremetal set up. I have the ISO burned to a USB stick using Etcher, but it tells me it's not bootable. I tried it anyway, but still not bootable. What are people doing for their installations? I'm trying to follow the instructions as written, but when it fails at the first step, what do you do?

Topic Closed,
DON'T Use this Etcher boot software, it is indeed useless
Best classic is Rufus
