I tried dd’ing the .iso to /dev/sdb. I can mount it, and see the contents fine, but parted -l says unknown partition. Anyone have a clue it this will actually boot?

parted deals with mbr and gpt partition tables, it knows nothing about ISO9660 devices (CD/DVD format)

Have you considered trying?
Well… this is at work, and it’s a server, and it’s a server serving two project directories that area actively in use by my folks, so it’s something I
have to schedule downtime for, so I don’t want to try, it doesn’t work, and then fight it to run.
