Creating Raspbian Wheezy bootable SD card on a Mac
- Get the newest image: http://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads
- Open terminal on your mac
- sudo diskutil list
- Find the disk you’re after (/dev/disk5 for example). It probably is the only small disk/partition mounted:
- use mount command to see what’s mounted from this disk (/dev/disk5s1 for example):
- sudo diskutil umount /dev/disk5s1 [unmounts the volume]
- mount command should not show the disk anymore
- Now you can burn the image (make sure you unzipped it) to the disk
- sudo dd bs=1m if=~/Downloads/2012-07-15-wheezy-raspbian.img of=/dev/disk3
- To check status midstream, you can do killall -INFO dd
- Terminal with the dd operation in it will stop when it's done.
- Disk will re-mount. So you have to do step 3-7 again to unmount the disk.
- Then you can put it in the Pi and boot up!
