Re: install/53510: Can't install ISO on USB nor on DVD



What OS are you running?
On Linux you just need to

gunzip NetBSD-8.0-amd64-install.img.gz

then

sudo dd if=NetBSD-8.0-amd64-install.img of=/dev/sdX bs=1M

where X is your usb stick.

Note that if you have an EFI system you need the UEFI install image. Also note that there are different images for DVD and usb.

Good luck

Hi,

Wanting to try NetBSD(on an AMD64 PC), I tried to install in various ways but none of them seems to work.

When I use the USB intallation version, the file is not recognized as a possible "install file". I tried 4 third-party programs to do this: Unetbootin, Etcher, Rufus and Easy USB-creatoe Lite. None of them would even start to put it on the USB. Then I downloaded the file again, maybe it was corrupt. Same result.

Then I tried burning it to a DVD with FreeISOburner, at least the burning went fine. But when I booted, only a black screen appeared and it stayed that way...

What can I do to at least install NetBsd?

Thanks in advance for any reaction.

Greetings from Belgium!!

PS Meanwhile I am downloading the torrent file, mayb that'll work....but that's going to take about 6 hours....
