On mac, the disk is still readable, and I have no clue why. Everything seems to work fine, up until the dd finishes. I have tried to make a live USB under both of them, with zero success. I have a macbok, dual booting Arch and OSX. Hello folks!! Been bashing my head against this Kali live USB thing for a couple weeks now, with no success. I don't have a Disk drive i just downloaded the ISO.

Unmount of all volumes on disk1 was successful my USB device is /dev/disk1, Then unmount disk by diskutil command Open Terminal Window and run the followingĢ: Apple_HFS Macintosh HD 250.1 GB disk0s2ģ: Apple_Boot Recovery HD 650.0 MB disk0s3Ģ: Microsoft Basic Data KALILINUX 7.7 GB disk1s2Ĥ. Format the usb stick in disk utility as msdosģ. Sorry it took so long to respond, I am working on this now, and will let everyone know the results as I get them.Ģ. Note: If you have rEFIt or rEFInd installed, you can use it, just make sure you select the optical media, not USB I have not had a chance to test this, but will try as soon as the image is done downloading. This is the same experience I have had with most other linuces using the above method.Įvery other Linux distro I have tried requires a USB drive and an optical copy of the installer to work properly. Hard drives are not well supported by Apple's firmware for legacy OS bootingĪ clue is that when I reboot normally, leaving the USB thumb drive connected, OS X says that it is unreadable and asks whether I want to initialize. The firmware refused to boot from the selected volume. Following the directions above (and restarting the Macbook Pro 2008 while holding ALT/OPTION, EFI see the USB flash and then returns this message:Įrror: Not Found returned from legacy loaderĮrror: Not Found from LocateDevicePath (repeats 10 x)Įrror: Load Error while (re)opening our installation volume I am having the same trouble as with most linuces I try to boot from USB.

Bless a usb for legacy boot mac os
