There is no problem with 'zcat boot.img.gz > /dev/sdX' and copying a netinst 9.3 image to a USB stick. Boots fine and locates the image. Then I get the dreaded "No kernel modules found...mismatch...kernel used by this version of the installer...kernel version available in the archive". Hopefully, a 9.4 image would fix that. -- Brian.
