OpenBSD produces a separate .img file, just choose the iso if you want an iso, choose img if you want an image for a USB boot drive. Are you sure about NetBSD? I didn't check their ISO but they do provide separate img files and there's no indication in the install guide that it is hybrid. http://www.netbsd.org/docs/guide/en/chap-inst.html (Also, despite their hybrid iso, FreeBSD still sees the need to provide a separate USB image). > I want to know why OpenBSD not do the same. :-) I guess nobody has seen enough benefit to changing things for it to be worth spending the time A) implementing it (without using GPL tools) and B) testing it on a wide variety of machines to make sure it doesn't break something that currently works. B is the real problem of course.
