No changes to code, I'm no programer.
I have done:
sudo dd if='/path/to/file/ipxe.usb' of=/dev/sdc
When that failed I cd to the directory of the file and do:
sudo dd if=ipxe.usb of=/dev/sdc
Previously as mentioned I had been doing of=/dev/sdc1 but was told that
was wrong.
In all cases, there are no errors, it displays bytes in and out and
transfer rate acting like it did something, but in no case does it
actually do anything as the usb flash drive is unaltered every time.
I obtained the device path with:
sudo fdisk -l
As mentioned I have also tried to dd the gpxe.usb file downloaded from
the old site with the same results.
Ubuntu 12.0.4 LTS fully updated as of today.

Unfortunately I continue to be baffled by the fact that dd apparently
does not work, or that all .usb files for gpxe and ipxe are defective in
some way. No matter what I do, the usb drive remains blank. I have
tried formatting FAT and EXT. I have tried different .usb files.
Nothing. The contents are never replaced if there are any before dd,
none are written if it's blank before dd. I'm at a loss.
The .usb target definitely works. I tested it just now.
Please tell us exactly what you are doing, including verbatim copies of all
commands and details of any modifcations you have made to the iPXE source
code.
