I used dd to copy the installer iso to a USB stck on my old laptop:

dd bs=4M if=devuan_ascii_2.0.0_amd64_netinst.iso of=/dev/sdb status=progress && 
sync

Then I moved the USB stick to my new Purism laptop, powered it up, 
pressed esacpe to get a boot menu, and the USB stick was not recognised 
as a boot device.

Is there something that needs to be done to the ISO before putting it on 
the USB stick?  Or is the dd command wrong?  I remember that years ago 
it had to be modified somehow in order to boot, but I thought that had been 
fixed long 
long ago.  Something like prefixing it with a recognisable boot record?

Sorry for not testing this in the beta days, but I didn't have the new 
computer yet.
