arch linux - Making bootable USB flash drive with dd


I'm trying to make my 32GB flash drive bootable with archlinux. Beginning from release 2010.05, all ISO files can be directly written to USB media.
So, what I've did:


dd if=archlinux.iso of=/dev/sdc

Copying has succesfully finished, but I still can't boot from my flash drive.


Are there any additional things, that I should to do? Or, maybe, some flash drive is not able to be bootable? Or what I've missed?


Answer



Oh, problem was on computer side. And it start to works, when I manually chose my flash drive to boot.


But I don't know why the boot device priority with flash drive on the top hadn't made the same effect.
