ISO to USB disk - OSX

Fonte: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/create-a-usb-stick-on-mac-osx

  • Convert the .iso file to .img using the convert option of hdiutil: hdiutil convert -format UDRW -o ~/path/to/target.img ~/path/to/ubuntu.iso
  • Run diskutil list to get the current list of devices.
  • Insert your flash media.
  • Run diskutil list again and determine the device node assigned to your flash media (e.g. /dev/disk2).
  • Run diskutil unmountDisk /dev/diskN (replace N with the disk number from the last command; in the previous example, N would be 2).
  • Execute sudo dd if=/path/to/downloaded.img of=/dev/rdiskN bs=1m (replace /path/to/downloaded.img with the path where the image file is located; for example, ./ubuntu.imgor ./ubuntu.dmg).
    • Using /dev/rdisk instead of /dev/disk may be faster
  • Run diskutil eject /dev/diskN and remove your flash media when the command completes
