I used balenaEtcher to burn Ubuntu Server ARM64 image file (installed from Canonical official site) to my SanDisk USB-A stick on macOS 15.0 Beta, and connected to my ARM Mac device (MacBook Pro 13-inch M1, Late 2020). Then I selected asahi-linux option as my startup disk, restarted, and press a key when U-Boot mentioned me pressing any key to stop booting from any disk. Unfortunately, I cannot boot from the USB-A stick when I tried to boot from USB devices by using the command usb start

I've heard that the Apple Silicon devices can't recognise external drives and boot from external drives directly. However, I asked the same question to Microsoft Copilot in Bing Search before burning my USB stick, and Copilot gave me the answer "yes" according to Internet information.

Oh, no. The startup command is not true in my previous text. It's usbboot addr dev/sda
