doesn't work from an USB stick

[Norman H. Azadian]

Used recent UNetbootin (tried from both Windoze and Linux) to write manjaro-xfce-0.8.9-i686.iso to a 4GB stick. When I boot from the stick, it looks radically different from when I write the ISO to a DVD and boot from that. When I install from the stick, the installed thing dies during booting. The install from the DVD works perfectly. I had similar problems with another distro as well. Tried on an old laptop and a new desktop.

I'm sorry, I misremembered. When I try to boot with the stick on my old laptop, I get two different problems.

If I don't touch the keyboard, the default counts down the 10 seconds, and then loops from 0 back to 10. It just keeps counting down from 10 to zero forever.

If I select start, it tries mounting sr0, then sda1, sda2, sda3, and sda4. Then it says something about no miso system. It does the mounting and complaining forever.
