strange…
Do you have a SD card lying around?
What does it say if you type:
sudo rpi-eeprom-update

Change Boot Order Manually

If there are no updates use
sudo raspi-config

and enable USB Boot (it should do this by default… actually)

If this still does not work:

  • Are you using the correct .img for your SBC from own your bits? (I once made the mistake to donwload berryboot… that did not work)
  • Re-download the .img, it could be that something went wrong when downloading it. (check md5sum)
  • Try to flash again
  • Use another USB media to eliminate a faulty SSD (cable, case or drive itself)
  • run in a circle and cry out loud… (not sure it will work, but it will solve some of the frustration)

btw

No need to do that, if you flash using etcher it will format the drive and once it boots from it, it will put all in place automatically. Just flash and plug in… actually
