<para>
Find the flash drive's device name. If the media has a volume name, use it to look up the device name in <filename class="directory">/dev/disk/by-label</filename>, or use the <command>findfs</command> command:
</para>
-<screen><command>findfs LABEL=<replaceable>MyLabel</replaceable></command></screen>
+ <screen><command>findfs LABEL=<replaceable>MyLabel</replaceable></command></screen>
<para>
If the media does not have a volume name or you do not know it, you can also use the <command>dmesg</command> command shortly after connecting the media to your computer. After running the command, the device name (such as <systemitem>sdb</systemitem> or <systemitem>sdc</systemitem>) should appear in several lines towards the end of the output.

The <option>bs</option> option specifies the block size; it can be omitted, but specifying it will speed up the process. For example:
