MBR

It's easy:

$ dd if=hyperbola-milky-way-v0.2.1-dual.iso of=/dev/sdb bs=1M status=progress && sync

GPT

1. Create one partition entry in GPT

    # parted <DEV-TARGET>
   
    (parted) mktable GPT
   
    (parted) mkpart primary fat32 1MiB -1
   
    (parted) quit
   

2. Create a FAT32 filesystem on such partition and setup a label.

    # mkfs.vfat -F 32 -n <FS-LABEL> <DEV-TARGET-N>
   

3. Mount target filesystem.

    # mount <DEV-TARGET-N> <MNT-TARGET-N>
   

4. Extract ISO image on target filesystem.

    # bsdtar -x --exclude=isolinux/ --exclude=EFI/hyperiso/ --exclude=hyperbola/boot/syslinux/ -f <ISO-SOURCE> -C <MNT-TARGET-N>
   

5. Unmount target filesystem.

    # umount <MNT-TARGET-N>
   

Notes

• <FS-LABEL>: HYPER_v031 for example
• <DEV-TARGET>: /dev/sdc for example
• <DEV-TARGET-N>: /dev/sdc1 for example
• <MNT-TARGET-N>: /mnt for example
• <ISO-SOURCE>: $HOME/Downloads/hyperbola.iso for example
