Urgh. I’s probably due to the lack of a useful dd analogue that they make users 
jump through hoops like that.

Otherwise my initial reaction before reading the article was ‘just use dd’, but 
that would be totally foreign territory to most Windows admins most likely.

But I agree with Aaron that the other workaround would be to format the USB 
drive as NTFS to start with, that would not be subject to the 4GB file size 
restriction. Just how good the NTFS support is in OpenBSD I have no personal 
experience with, though.

All the best,
