Macs will not boot with anything other than OS X. The Linux distros that run on
Mac always bootstrap off an existing Mac OS to run.
I went down this road a couple years ago when I first got my Macbook Pro, I'd
had troubles with PC laptops in the past and had been saved by bootable USB
drives. I never could get one to work on my Mac. I consider this a HUGE
limitation of the Mac...

Subject: [MBZ] OT: bootable USB stick, El Crap content
Last night I finally got the Disk Utility to make what was supposed
to be a bootable USB with the El Crapitan installer on it. It was
not recognized as bootable when booting with the option key.
I also tried, before that, making a format with GParteD linux disk
utility, them marking it has bootable. Same thing. Not recognized
as bootable.
I wish they'd give us the installer as 2 .iso or .dmg disk images
that could be put on two dvds.
