I don't know that this bug is exactly the same https://dev.haiku-os.org/ticket/12516 I cannot dd an anyboot image to a USB stick. I can initialise and format it then copy files to it, to test and it is alright. You are trying to use the installer. I don't know exactly how the installer goes about it. Does it make an image first?

Replying to bruno:
Anyone else having problems makeing a USB-Stick?
Using Installer I only managed to create a booting USB stick, by formatting the raw device directly in DriveSetup, i.e. don't initialize the disk with a partition map a don't create a partition.
I also tried creating partition map and partition and installed the boot manager after using Installer. The boot menu is reached, but no Haiku found on the stick (unfortunately I forgot the exact error message...). I ended up automatically in the boot options screen where I could select the Haiku installs I have on the internal harddisk.
I'm going to close this ticket. Please provide any details on what went wrong for you along with syslog or any other information. Reopen if needed.
