Well, I created this USB stick with dd. I used the basic ISO available on the Arch download mirrors. I'm assuming from what you say that a stick built from dd wouldn't satisfy what you're saying. If that's the case, how do you prepare a USB stick as a UEFI device, and then how would you then copy the ISO to it properly? dd of the official .iso should be fine
make sure to disable legacy booting in BIOS (also CSM disabled).
I can't find a setting for this in the BIOS. There is no mention of UEFI, and I suspect that the BIOS assumed all boots were MBR. Which is what drove my original question: should I give up on trying to work with this old motherboard? Or is there some workaround?
