I have tried it on two boxes, they are both small units without CD
1.) First is an older box that can not boot from Gentoo ISO USB
generated with "dd" BIOS setting are:
USB-ZIP
USB-FDD
Hard Disk
2.) The second box is an ATOM-330 and the same USB boots OK.
So the issue might be with the Bios on the first box.
There's no "might" about it. At no time in this long thread did you
mention that you had successfully booted the stick in another computer
AFAIR. All along the stick was fine and the problem was limited to one
particular computer, and old one that apparently has problems booting
from some USB devices.
You may find that toggling some of the USB settings in the BIOS helps.

You can't teach a new mouse old clicks.
It is very confusing.
The box 1.) (above) I was testing it on my old USB stick I generated few years ago (it boots OK), it boots USB stick generated by Systemrescue CD.
It does not boot USB stick I generated a new one (manually), nor does it boot USB stick
generated by "DD" or UNetbootin
The second box after checking second time it boots USB stick generated by "dd"
and Systemrescue CD but it will not boot USB stick generated manually or by UNetbootin
Apology the this long thread, but I'm still confused. I could understand why it would not boot USB stick generated manually but why it will not boot USB stick
generatd by UNetbootin but it boots stick generated by Systemrescue CD
