omnios-r151046-rc3.usb-dd fails on Simply NUC Topaz 2 i7

[JohnConnett]

USB install on a Simply NUC Topaz 2 i7. System was booted from USB with no user interaction on the keyboard and hangs with the following displayed:

`OmniOS r151046 Version omnios-r151046-0c94315846 64-bit

This may be caused by an underlying driver issue. omnios-151044k.usb.dd also fails to install

Can you try writing the .iso file to the USB instead of the .usb-dd? The .iso is a universal image that should work for both, and tends to work properly with USB 3 devices.

Tried the .iso file written to USB with both balena etcher (version 1.14.3) and Rufus (version 4.0) on WIndows 11. Appears to fail in the same way for both displaying the same screen output as for the .dd file.

(I'm also attempting to use PXE with pxeboot. That displays NBP file downloaded successfully. then drops through to the next boot option, apparently without trying to get any further files using tftp. Might be operator error configuring my kayak installation on r151046-rc3 running in on Hyper-V VM).
