 Using Fedora-25 and a PNY 64GB USB-2.0
 
 first I tried using dev/sdb1:
 [tom@new-host-3 ~]$ cd netbsd
 [tom@new-host-3 netbsd]$ ls
 NetBSD-7.1-amd64-install.img
 [tom@new-host-3 netbsd]$ sudo dd if=NetBSD-7.1-amd64-install.img
 of=/dev/sdb1 bs=32k
 [sudo] password for tom:
 17600+0 records in
 17600+0 records out
 576716800 bytes (577 MB, 550 MiB) copied, 1.14629 s, 503 MB/s
 
 Re-started the machine, Dell BIOS did not recognize NetBSD (on the USB) as
 a boot option.
 
 then I tried dev/sdb:
 [tom@new-host-3 netbsd]$
 [tom@new-host-3 netbsd]$ sudo dd if=NetBSD-7.1-amd64-install.img
 of=/dev/sdb bs=32k
 17600+0 records in
 17600+0 records out
 576716800 bytes (577 MB, 550 MiB) copied, 97.6374 s, 5.9 MB/s
 [tom@new-host-3 netbsd]$
 
 Re-started the machine.  Dell BIOS did not recognize NetBSD (on the USB) as
 a boot option.
 
 My next step:
 I'm going to try creating an install USB for FreeBSD.
