I am new to proxmox (in fact to virtualisation by myself) and I have a NUC to experiment with. My other computers are Macs. I am fairly technical, can handle unix-like cli stuff with ease.

I created a 7.2-1 image following the instructions on https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Prepare_Installation_Media but after the NUC has successfully loaded the RAM disk from the USB flash drive booted from it, it cannot find the install media "No device with valid ISO found".

I tried creating an USB disk with `sudo dd if=proxmox-ve_*.iso of=/dev/rdiskX bs=1m` without first using `hdiutil convert` (of which I wonder why it would be necessary) with exactly the same effect.
 
I can answer my own question: I used a fast USB 3.1 32GB Flash disk (SanDisk UltraFit) and that seems to work

It could also be possible, that the first time, the image wasn't written 100% correctly to the flash drive. But good to hear that you managed to get a flash drive working :)
