It can’t be in a subfolder, etc. I had this problem in the past when I used tools like yumi or rufus to create the install. I use dd on my linux machines. I forget what I used to create the stick on windows. I stopped using Windows regularly 4 or 5 years ago. Since I work fir myself, these days, I don’t need to. :-)

Hi,
The USB stick is actually an SD card in a USB adapter. I am quite sure
there is nothing wrong with it.

The command used to write the .iso:

dd if=devuan_chimaera_4.0.0_amd64_server of=/dev/sdb bs=1M

A previous attempt at installation used:
devuan_chimaera_4.0.0_amd64_netinstall.iso

There is no attempt to multi boot and I do not use Bill Gates cancerous,
virus-infested scourge of the Earth software.

Best regards,
Fred
