This is not necessary and will be overwritten by your next step:

This is a correct procedure and is supposed to do what is needed.
The fact that booting works confirms that you did it right.

Maybe your USB stick is not good.
Do you get i/o errors when you read the whole stick by:

  dd bs=1M if=/dev/sdb of=/dev/null

(Depending on size and speed of the stick this can last long.
 If your dd is young enough you get entertaining progress messages by
 adding two more options:

   dd bs=1M if=/dev/sdb of=/dev/null status=progress oflag=dsync
)

If the stick is not plain bad, then you will have to show the messages
which you see when booting gets stuck. Either as hand-copied text or
as screen photo which you upload to some site like pastebin.com. In
the latter case post a link to your uploaded photo.


Have a nice day :)
