For details, see Ubuntu docs here.

1. mkdosfs /dev/sdc1 – replace sdc with usb stick device
2. syslinux /dev/sdc1
3. may need to install-mbr /dev/sdc
4. find hd-media files for distro and copy to first usb partition
5. create syslinux.cfg with:

default vmlinuz
append initrd=initrd.gz ramdisk_size=12000 root=/dev/rd/0 rw

6. copy Ubuntu iso (apparently any will work)
7. boot from stick

Note: syslinux.cfg as described in the docs does not work – removing the “init=/linuxrc” fixes the problem.
