How to write a bootable .iso to USB-drive?

I've got the latest and greatest Arch64 .iso and I want to install it but I don't have a usable medium lying around. My mainboard can boot from USB (supposedly) so I wanted to put the .iso on my 256MB pendrive and install it from there.

But how do I make this happen? I dd'ed the .iso to /dev/sda1, nothing.
I cfdisked the pendrive to have one ext2 partition, copied the contents of the .iso to it and then made that partition bootable, nothing.

How now brown cow?

I think ISO9660 is for CD-Roms only. Problem solved btw: I found an empty CD-R. smile
