In regard to: Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Booting OI DVD/USB, Chris Game said...:
What I was puzzled about was the difference between what was proposed and the USB device filters in the machine/settings/USB page in VirtualBox which enables the Windows host USB port and device to be addressed by the VB guest. I'm not sure the result of loading the .usb image file and trying to boot from it will be any different from other results using the iso file.
All of the other tools probably work fine (Win32 DiskImager is even mentioned in the install guide), or can be made to work for the purpose, but for eliminating possible things that may cause issues with getting the image onto a USB stick, going with some simple (like 'dd') that is known to work is a good debugging step. It sounds like you do understand what USB pass-through with VirtualBox allows you to do, so there's not really anything for me to explain.
