Martin,
Are you sure that you're using the right platform file? There are distinct
versions for both CD and USB booting. From the website:
• smartos-(timestamp).iso: Live Image ISO
• smartos-(timestamp)-usb.img.bz2: Live Image USB image (This is the
preferred installation method)
The instructions at
http://wiki.smartos.org/display/DOC/Creating+a+SmartOS+Bootable+USB+Key worked
fine for me on Mac, Linux and Solaris/SmartOS/OpenIndiana. Did you follow them
closely?
Best,
Peter
