So this was wrong (I guess). You need to use a USB
bootable).
It is pretty random in my experience. I have one machine that does not
allow boot from USB stick, and when I try with a bootable stick, it
ignores it. But if I have a non-bootable stick inserted, and the BIOS
setting is USB, then it hangs.
Try a different image, and/or a different way of writing it
