I've downloaded osol-dev-134-x86.usb memstick image in order

I dd-ed this image to my memory stick but my nettop doesn't boot from
it. file(1) shows the following

Is osol-dev-134-x86.usb a correct memstick image?
The .usb imagse are meant to be copied to a USB flash device using a
special program 'usbcopy'; you can't just dd them to the device.
*However*, I've found that you *can* dd the .iso image for OpenSolaris
to a USB flash device and boot it. (At least it works on two machines
I've tried.)
