This is very weird,
although some automated installations perform
a defect scan on the "target drive" and this will destroy the Flash.
I tend to install the OS on a RAM disk and then dd the image to the
Flash.
If your system has vnconfig(8) you can create the RAM disk very easily,
although you can get the same effect using VMWAre.
