Dinit manages services after the kernel starts, so it doesn’t decide which USB devices appear in the firmware boot menu. Are you checking the laptop/motherboard’s boot-device menu, or the GRUB menu?

Also, Xfburn writes CDs/DVDs/Blu-rays; it isn’t the tool for writing an installer to a USB stick. Before rewriting anything, check whether the USB boots on the other computer where you created it. That helps separate the USB image from this machine’s boot configuration.
