Can you use Virtualbox? If so you could boot the ISO as a VM and use USB
forwarding to dd the image via the VM to the USB.
Does that actually work, Till?
Since OI switched to VirtualBox OSE and started packaging our own VB, I
haven't been able to get USB pass-through to work. Others have reported
the same problem, I know there is (was?) a ticket about the issue in the
bug tracker.
Unless it has been fixed recently, and I'm just out of the loop...

USB pass-through does not work on OpenIndiana VirtualBox. (And we don't
even know, why it does not work...) But, presumably, it works on other
supported hosts (Linux, Windows, ...) and for the `dd` operation does
not even need OpenIndiana guest, any UNIX guest should suffice.
