Apart from the status= bit an using bs=1M, I did the same two days ago and installed an old desktop machine just fine. > 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. As Didier mentioned in another reply, you may have to play around with settings in the BIOS. I know I had to. In my case, I had to make the USB stick the first hard disk in the hard disk device list even though none of the other hard disks had any OS on them. The BIOS only ever tried to boot from the first hard disk and if that failed went on to the CD drive. You mentioned that Purism ISOs boot fine for you. Could it be that your BIOS has Trusted Boot or Secure Boot or similar enabled? Guess you oughta ask the Purism people about that (after you check their documentation of course).
