How To Make A Bootable Usb For Mac Os X Tiger

Plug your USB stick (8GB, better more) into the computer. The file system should be set to MAC OS X EXTENDED (NOT journaled) 4. Follow the guide above from step 3 til step 8. You're now in open firmware. Type in dev / ls and a list with all files will appear. Press space to scroll down. Now, you have a tree structure, you have to choose.

  • WizISO - Create Windows 10 Bootable USB on Mac OS X. Just 3 simple steps to burn ISO to USB/DVD on Mac OS X without getting errors. It combines 5 functions: Burn, Extract, Edit, Create and Copy Disc. It works for both GPT (UEFI boot) and MBR (legacy BIOS/CMS boot) modes. It supports all types of system files- FAT. FAT 32, and NTFS.
  • Starting with Disk Drill 3, anyone can create a bootable Mac OS X drive in a matter of minutes. Make sure you have an extra storage device, which is at least 2GB in size. Connect it to any Mac, run Disk Drill and use the 'Create Boot Drive' option on the main toolbar.
  • How can I achieve this from either macOS Catalina or Windows 10? I can't seem to find a guide online. I've downloaded Mac OS X Snow Leopard Install DVD from the Internet Archive. Keep in mind that this is an.iso file, not.dmg. I don't need a full step-by-step guide, just need to know how to format the drive (MBR/GPT?) and how to copy the.iso file to it.

1 - i could not make a windows-keyboard work... in particular, my imac (g5) would 'ask' about it when powering up by having me press the key 'just inside of shift key' on each side... thus, i was never able to make the keyboard-combo work correctly... if you cannot get into open-firmware, then try getting a normal MAC-keyboard...

2 - i was having all sorts of problems trying to get the correct device to use for the 'dir' command... i could see the tree of information, but could never make a working 'devalias' for myself... two clues:

  • a - if (when you type devalias xx yyy@yyyyyyyy) you receive a comment 'no alias' in response, then it did NOT work... you should see a 'good' response of just the word OK... even so, i was never able to 'use' my own devalias...
    • b - i noticed in one of the later-comments someone had tried just typing the word 'devalias' without anything else... when i typed that, i got a nice long list of predefined aliases... in particular, i could see one called 'first-boot' that looked like it should access my working tiger-hdd internally... also, if i just typed 'boot' it would do what youd expect [boot from the first-boot device, which is the current internal hdd]...

    3 - i was finally able to get things working better by doing/trying the following (details removed for hopeful-clarity):

  • - and i finally saw something good... nb, i needed the exact-extra-characters listed [7 chars starting with / and ending with ] to get a 'good' dir... and i assume others will have the devalias of 'first-boot' predefined like i did...
  • - was the magic incantation i used for getting to my external-usb-key [8gb formatted/dmg-restored as needed]... in particular, the '1:3' here on usb0 and the '0:3' with first-boot matched the disk:partition information i got when i looked at the key using the regular get-info command from tigers disk-utility...

  • i could do a more-detailed 'dir' on the key until i got to the ...CoreServices directory level... i could NOT actually do a 'dir' on the BootX file itself... but the CoreServices directory showed the 'magic' tbxi flag on that BootX file that i expected to see...

    i could use the 'UP-ARROW' to repeat the last command that id typed, so that i could just change the 'dir' to a 'boot' and add the BootX to the end and it would work... (using left- and right-arrows to leave the other good characters in place)

    4 - once i got my magic incantation correct, it took prolly an hour to get thru the first-boot - but eventually i got the great happy-mac sound from the other room... hopefully you will be able to too... :)


    repeating: for me, the exact command i used was ... gl & hth, h.
