So I have eventually found a solution with some help on IRC...

The problem is that the doc on site is incorrect and misleading. DD-ing =20
doesn't work because the iso proviced for download is not a hybrid one.
I had to follow that steps to boot:
1. Installed unetbootin (etcher will do, too, but the following steps =20
may differ)
2. umounted the USB stick
3. Reparition the USB stick to have msdos MBR and one FAT32 partition =20
then formatted it with mkfs.vfat
4. mounted it again.
5. Made a bootable USB stick with unetbootin.
6. Success!

That's a pity that the very first acquaintance with the Alpine linux =20
started for me with incorrect and misleading docs and necessity to =20
literary cry for help on IRC.  Thank you Xe for help!
Hope I'll be able to proceed further without such troubles...

BR,
Nick=
