Creating a bootable Linux Debian USB stick from Apple OS X is fairly easy 🙂
- Download the latest stable Linux Debian ISO from cdimage.debian.org;
- Insert your USB drive;
- Start the Terminal app;
- enter
sudo diskutil listto determine the mount point of your USB drive (for example disk3); - enter
sudo diskutil eraseDisk FAT32 USB /dev/disk3; (WARNING: THIS WILL REMOVE ALL DATA FROM YOUR USB DRIVE!) - enter
sudo diskutil unmountDisk /dev/disk3; - enter
cd Downloads; - enter
sudo dd if=./debian-9.1.0-amd64-DVD-1.iso of=/dev/disk3 bs=1m; - enter
diskutil eject /dev/disk3
If you don’t unmount the disk it will say resource busy.
better raw write (pls note rdisk3 instead of disk3)
sudo dd if=./debian-9.1.0-amd64-DVD-1.iso of=/dev/rdisk3 bs=1m
than
sudo dd if=./debian-9.1.0-amd64-DVD-1.iso of=/dev/disk3 bs=1m
enter diskutil eject /dev/disk1
I believe should be disk3
Oops, yeah thnx! Just changed step 9 of the original post 🙂
sudo diskutil unmount /dev/disk2s2
did it
Step 9 should be disk3 instead of disk1
I’m stuck at step 8 where it says dd: /dev/disk2: Resource busy
enter diskutil eject /dev/disk3
