CentOS - Dec 2016 - OT - hardware - firmware update .iso to flash drive?

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)

Ah! Thanks. Still, any idea if it'll just boot (it's a Dell R720)?
