In trying to install on a new S1200 series motherboard and just about any USB stick that contains an ISO image would not boot. So I tried booting on the ASUS, which was factory configurated with UEFI. Unlocked that so that non-UEFI media would also show in the bios boot menu.
Writing the .img file to a stick (dd): boots on both
Burning the .iso image to a DVD: boots on both
So one has to be a bit more careful about the installation media with the new wave of BIOSen.
The only .iso image that I found would boot from a stick is Fedora.
Perhaps the handbook/download page should be updated accordingly.
