This is very small, but I don't see a way to communicate with whomever managed the MediaWiki page about creating installation media.
For creating installation media from macOS, the instructions are to write the .dmg contents to the USB stick using the terminal command: # sudo dd if=proxmox-ve_*.dmg bs=1M of=/dev/rdiskX
This fails with an error: "illegal numeric value".
To write the content to the USB stick, the upper case "M" must be lower case. The command must be: # sudo dd if=proxmox-ve_*.dmg bs=1m of=/dev/rdiskX

The page with this error is here: https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Prepare_Installation_Media

If someone can correct that, it might help someone in the future.
