# HOWTO: Make bootable USB stick from ISO on OSX
# determine /dev/diskN name of USB stick (e.g. /dev/disk2)
diskutil list
# convert image.iso to image.dmg (hdiutil adds .dmg automatically)
hdiutil convert -format UDRW -o image image.iso
# unmount (don't eject!) usb stick
diskutil unmountDisk /dev/disk2
# don't f*** up device name in next step or your disk will be toast
sudo dd if=image.dmg of=/dev/disk2 bs=10m
# unmount usb stick again and use in target system
diskutil unmountDisk /dev/disk2
