Find the device with 'mount' or 'df -h' in the shell.

$ df -h

/dev/disk0s2               74G    72G   1.9G    97%    /
devfs                     100K   100K     0B   100%    /dev
fdesc                     1.0K   1.0K     0B   100%    /dev
<volfs>                   512K   512K     0B   100%    /.vol
automount -nsl [205]        0B     0B     0B   100%    /Network
automount -fstab [219]      0B     0B     0B   100%    
/automount/Servers
automount -static [219]     0B     0B     0B   100%    /automount/static
/dev/diskX                499M    40K   499M     0%    /Volumes/NO NAME

Then do a forced umount (as root) (don't use the finder to eject the 
device).

# umount -f  /Volumes/NO NAME

as root do your dd (replace the 'X' with your drive number) :-

# dd if=./install-media-blah of=/dev/diskX bs=1024k
