Did you unmount your USB stick first and did you substitute sdX with the
right device file? If not zcat boot.img.gz /dev/sdX just creates the
file sdX and copies the unpacked boot.img.gz to it.
You can find out which device you are using by calling mount from
command line and without any arguments after mounting your usb stick
like always. You should see something like
/dev/sdf1 on /media/KINGSTON type ext3
where /dev/sdf would be the device of your usb stick.
It is important to unmount your usb stick before writing to it via the
device file directly, else your data will get corrupted.
Then you will have to mount your stick again, then copy your netinst.iso
to it. Note that your stick might no longer be called KINGSTON now.
I think I got it right:

cp debian-503-amd64-netinst.iso /media/KINGSTON
Installing a new mbr should not be necessary, but if you do unmout your
stick before doing it.
sudo install-mbr /dev/sdX
Ok let me try again without this.
Thanks,
