If you are on Linux, you can try the GNU ddrescue utility to make the boot USB:
sudo ddrescue -D -f OI-hipster-gui-20250606.usb /dev/sda I always prefer it over dd. Unfortunately, GNU ddrescue is not available on OpenIndiana. ------------------------------------------ illumos: illumos-discuss Permalink: https://illumos.topicbox.com/groups/discuss/Te6ca52e0e174d9c5-M576c90fcb601ade917716325 Delivery options: https://illumos.topicbox.com/groups/discuss/subscription
