In my experience, the ISO image works fine if you burn it to a CD-ROM or 
use it as a virtual CD in a VM.  But if you want to copy it to a USB 
stick, you need to switch to creating a bootable disk image by changing 
the line in "build.conf" from:

QEMU_RUN_OPT := --include power_on/qemu --include log/qemu --include 
image/iso

to:

QEMU_RUN_OPT := --include power_on/qemu --include log/qemu --include 
image/disk

I hope this helps.
