The USB stick then looks like this with diskutil list: /dev/disk1 You should not be using the s1 extensions: these are partitions on the disk, not the disk itself. We use the r for raw in of=/dev/rdiskX to make the copy faster. Copy the downloaded file with sudo dd bs=1m if=file.iso of=/dev/rdiskX.Make sure you don't dd to a wrong disk, e.g. Unmount the stick in terminal (nowhere else) with sudo diskutil unmountDisk /dev/diskX
This can be found by clicking the icon 'Info'. Put a USB stick in the slot and look into Disk Utility for its device number (disk1, disk2, diskX, etc).
Since I had a lot of trouble creating Live USBs on Ubuntu and Mac and wanted to dig a bit deeper into the subject and will also list the output of the successful partition schemes.ĭownload.
