Then I will plug that into my laptop for testing and if all goes well, I'll probably buy a new hard drive and install Mint Linux directly on my laptop. My windows machine took a dump last week and I've been using my Raspberry Pi 3 as a replacement until I can get a Linux bootable thumbdrive created. Now I just need to write it to the thumbdrive in a way that it will be bootable. The problem is the same as for Terminal: It encountered an Intel process.Is there a Raspbian app I can use to create a Linux Live Bootable USB thumbdrive? I've already downloaded the ISO to an external hard drive connected to the Pi. The error returned by the utility Install Disk Creator is, “couldn't be unmounted to erase it.” That’s actually not the problem. The “killed” indicates an Intel process that Terminal was unable to run. Zsh: killed sudo -volume /Volumes/MyStartupDisk If you see this in Terminal on an Apple Silicon machine: Applications/Install\ macOS\ Mojave.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmediaįor pre-Big Sur versions, createinstallmedia is an Intel process post-Big Sur, it is an Apple Silicon process. Inside the Package Contents of every installer is an app named createinstallmedia. On Apple Silicon, errors thrown by Install Disk Creator and Terminal are misleading. Then boot from the installer drive to install the OS on the third drive!.Use the iMac under Big Sur to create a bootable Mojave installer drive.You can create that Mojave install drive with the utility Install Disk Creator. But you can create that Mojave boot drive only after the iMac has booted from a Mojave install drive, not from its own internal startup drive. Sure, you can boot a Late 2015 iMac into Mojave from an external drive. For example, our iMac is currently under Big Sur, so it refuses to run the Mojave installer at all. What’s more, you cannot run a macOS installer whose version is earlier than the one the Mac is currently running. These can be achieved only on an Intel Mac. create a bootable install disk for an Intel version of macOS.You cannot do either of these with an external drive attached to Apple Silicon: So, for the benefit of those we left behind on Earth, these are the lessons I learned: I hate it when people on all discussions (not just Apple Discussions) post something like, "Never mind. In addition, I also used the same steps to try to create a bootable installation drive using a 500 GB hard drive, but it doesn't appear upon option/startup either. I would have thought that the process of creating a bootable drive would add a set of system and user folders to the drive as well. In either case, the drive does not show up when I restart and hold down the Option key, nor does it show up in System Preferences/Startup Disk.Īfter creating the bootable drive, the only file on the drive is "Install macOS Mojave." This file appears to be identical (exact same # of bytes) as the "Install macOS Mojave" app that I downloaded from Apple into my Applications folder, in other words, the process appears to have simply copied the installer. I created the drive in two ways, using the terminal commands given here, as well as by using the "Install Disk Creator" software package. I formatted the 16 GB drive using Mac Extended (Journaled) with a GUID partition. Cannot boot to Mojave bootable USB installer I am trying to make a bootable USB drive installer for Mojave.
