I find using these commands myself regularly, so decided to write them down in a separate article for not having to find the information between lines.
So here it goes. Remember to choose right disk! otherwise, you could override your system! Replace /your/image/path/here
with the path to your image file, diskX
with your disk and your-linux-image.iso
with your image file.
diskutil list
sudo diskutil unmountDisk /dev/diskX
sudo dd bs=4m if=/your/image/path/here/your-linux-image.iso of=/dev/rdiskX
Note: with /dev/rdisk
(with letter R, instead of just “disk”) the command is 20 times faster on Mac Os X. Have fun installing!
