[SOLVED] doc: openbsd memstick instruction line, plus mac osx correction
« on: March 16, 2015, 05:10:14 am »
On the wiki page,

Additional suggestion for USB media install lines, the OpenBSD line is just how it works, but the MacOSX line is an optional (yet arguably more reliable) method.

--
OpenBSD:

  dd if=OPNsense-XXX-memstick-amd64.img of=/dev/rsd6c bs=16k

The device must be the ENTIRE device (in BSD language, the 'c' partition), and a raw I/O device (the 'r' in front of the device "sd6"), not a block mode device.

--
MacOSX

  sudo dd  if=OPNsense-XXX-memstick-amd64.img of=/dev/rdiskX bs=64k

where r = raw device, and where X = the disk device number of your CF card (check Disk Utility) (ignore the warning about trailing garbage - it's because of the digital signature)
