Create a USB Boot Disk for Debian on Mac

Making a NET INSTALL USB Stick to build out a Debian box. So I download the latest NETINST image from the Debian site. The from a terminal I did the following:

  • Insert USB Stick
  • Star the Terminal program
  • Find the USB Stick, mine is /dev/disk5 yours may/will be different:
    • sudo diskutil list
  • Erase/Partition:
    • sudo diskutil eraseDisk FAT32 USB /dev/disk5
  • Unmount the disk:
    • sudo diskutil unmountDisk /dev/disk5
  • Put image on USB Stick:
    • sudo dd if=<path>/debian-10.6.0-i386-netinst.iso of=/dev/disk5 bs1m
  • Unmount the disk:
    • diskutil eject /dev/disk5
