How can I create bootable usb stick with NetBSD installer on Linux?

I tried to use UNetBootin, but on download list there is only 4.0 version and when I select my ISO with 5.1 version it doesn't work (it create only few config files) . Other instruction that I found was NetBSD specific and I don't have NetBSD installed...

I asked a question about booting about install Grub on a USB stick. Since Grub can boot FreeBSD you can give that a try. unix.stackexchange.com/q/665/250 – phunehehe Jan 17 '11 at 5:31

you don't need to create anything: NetBSD now provides the Installer on ready to use USB images. you can download them here: ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub//NetBSD/NetBSD-5.1/memstick/

If you have Ubuntu installed, try

System -> Administration -> Startup Disk Creator

Select your ISO and the USB drive, push the button... done!

Startup disk creator works only with Ubuntu and its derivatives. I've tried it. – user4399 Feb 2 '11 at 3:49
I used this before with non-Ubuntu images (even non-debian based ones). But yes, they were all Linux systems using grub bootloader. – chris Feb 2 '11 at 7:27
