They used to be on there. Are you sure you have a netinst and not
mini.iso/netboot or businesscard image?

Why do you have an devfs mounted? But if you do or have udev there
then the dir is lost.
Mount the device again under a different mountpoint without any
submounts. No devfs, no udev, no proc, no sys. Then you can just copy
the whole thing.

rsync. That also works when you have to copy over the network. And
include the ssh.udeb on the image.

It is spelled:
wodim <iso-file>
Why should I specify the burner? udev sets that already.
