I had the minimal ISO on a usb stick so it can be done.

Some ISO images already have the appropriate boot sector; for example, Arch Linux ISOs. In this case, all you need is to write the image using dd ... of=/dev/sda or
similar.
But if the ISO image is not specially prepared (like Gentoo minimal ISO's) to be used from a USB drive, you need to copy the .iso file to the disk as an
ordinary file – mount, cp, all that – and install a bootloader such as Syslinux or lilo or GRUB.
Unfortunately the instruction on Gentoo Wiki is missing something, so it
doesn't work either.
