system installation - can't make bootable usb on mac

I've been trying to do this since yesterday, following the instructions given on ubuntu.com's official page here:



http://www.ubuntu.com/download/help/create-a-usb-stick-on-mac-osx



I can complete every step without error. However, when restarting the mac, the flash drive simply reports 'missing operating system, press any key...'. From there, there's nothing I can do except a hard reset.



I've tried Unetbootin, but that won't create a usb that's bootable from a mac.




edit: I've also fixed the partition tables with rEFIt, but still no joy.



Any suggestions?
