I have a similar problem when trying to install Nexnta on a USB pendrive. If the drive is <512MB Nexenta keep complaining that the drive is too small and refuses to use the USB stick as install media. When I try to use a 1GB USB stick, it just hangs while trying to format it. I tried several other sticks just to make sure it's not a media error. Anybody else have similar problems? Any idea what may be causing them.
